[Pre-Chorus]
AmWe were spitting venom at most 
Ceveryone we know if the
Gdamned gave us a roadmap then we'd 
Fknow just where to go
[Chorus]
Now let it dAmrop
Let it all dCrop
Let it all dGrop
Oh, let it aFll fall off
[Verse 1]
Well, yAmou were talking soda pop
You tCalk it quite a lot
The opGinions that I do not give
Are the opFinions I ain't got
[Chorus]
So let it dAmrop
Let it all dCrop
Let it all drGop
Let it aFll fall off
[[The rest of the song follows the same pattern, but here are the rest of the lyrics...]]
[Bridge]
Well, you were spitting venom
At most everyone you know
If you truly knew the gravity
You'd know which way to go
[Chorus]
So let it dAmrop
Let it all dCrop
Let it all drGop
Let it aFll fall off
[Verse 2]
My ears were bristled firmly
Right against your mouth to hear
When you tried to spit the venom out
Your words were not so clear, now drop
Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for fucked up history
Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for messed up history
Well, we went downtown
And we sat in the rain
Well, looking all direction and waiting for a train
Thought over, it's all over
I didn't know you kept track
I didn't know there was a score
Well, it looks like you're the winner and I ain't gonna play no more
It's over, game over
Well, we walked real stiff and our canes tapped the ground
You hit me with yours
And said 'Pull yourself together'
It's over, oh, it's over
You can say what you want but don't act like you care
It takes more than one person
To decide what's fair
It's over, think it over
[Pre-Chorus]
AmWe were spitting venom at most 
Ceveryone we know if the
Gdamned gave us a roadmap then we'd 
Fknow just where to go
[Verse 3]
So we carried all the groceries in
While hauling out the trash
And if this doesn't make us motionless
I do not know what can is to be said
What a rotten thing to say
Such an awful thing to say
I didn't mean to bite you so really
What always did, what always did, what always had to sling
[Chorus] x2
So let it dAmrop
Let it all dCrop
Let it all drGop
Let it aFll fall off
[Verse 4] x3
Cheer up baby
It wasn't always quite so bad
For every venom then that came out
The antidote was had

[Pre-Chorus]

We were spitting venom at most

everyone we know if the

damned gave us a roadmap then we'd

know just where to go

[Chorus]

Now let it drop

Let it all drop

Oh, let it all fall off

[Verse 1]

Well, you were talking soda pop

You talk it quite a lot

The opinions that I do not give

Are the opinions I ain't got

[Chorus]

So let it drop

Let it all drop

Let it all fall off

[[The rest of the song follows the same pattern, but here are the rest of the lyrics...]]

Well, you were spitting venom

My ears were bristled firmly

Right against your mouth to hear
