[Verse 1]
Why can't I decide
Why my feelings, I hide?
Always screwing with my mind
A thorn in my spine
Oh sure, it feels fine
Wasting all our time
In the back of my mind
A thorn in my spine

[Chorus]
Wait! See it before my eyes
Why? Do I turn away?

[Verse 2]
Looking all the time
At your face so blind
Feeling uptight
Always the same fight
Hey man now decide
Go ahead take your time
Kissing all the time
That thorn in my spine

[Chorus]
Wait! You can't even see inside
Why? Play yourself out that way
Why? You and me always hang
Wait! Weren't you my friend?

[Bridge]
Pain and rage and fear I feel!
Pain and rage and fear I feel!
Pain and rage and fear I feel!
Pain and rage and fear I feel!
Pain and rage and fear I feel!
Pain and rage and fear I feel!
Pain and rage and fear I feel!
Pain and rage and fear I feel!

[Verse 3]
Hey man, look inside
Now you need your own life
Remember me guy?
That thorn in your spine
Waiting all the time
I'm doing mighty fine
Remember me guy?
The thorn in your spine

[Chorus]
Wait! You can't even see inside
Why? Play yourself out that way
Why? You and me always hang
Wait! Weren't you my friend?

[Outro]
Wait! You were my friend
Wait! You were my friend
Wait! You were my friend
Wait! You were my friend

[Intro]
The time has come to realize
What you are, what you've done inside
The time has come
All have something to talk about, I will too

[Verse 1]
Looking back (dumb)
And now I realize (old man)
How much you really liked him (dumb)
This child's mind you terrorized (old man)
You came to him (dumb)
He really didn't know your lies (old man)
Now his innocence's gone (dumb)
He's that child you terrorized (old man)

[Chorus]
This fucking thing that I feel
It came to me from you
This fucking thing that I
Because of you
My childhood is gone
Because I loved you
My childhood is gone
Because I loved you
Be my neighbor!

[Verse 2]
Looking back (child)
And now I realize (fucker)
How much you really loved him (child)
This child's mind you've hypnotized (fucker)
You came to him (child)
He really didn't know your lies (fucker)
Now his innocence's gone (child)
I'm that child you terrorized (fucker)

[Chorus]
This fucking thing that I feel
It came to me from you
This fucking thing that I feel
Because of you
My childhood is gone
Because I loved you
My childhood is gone
Because I loved you
Be my neighbor!
Be my neighbor!
My neighbor

[Verse 3]
Fred, you told me everybody was my neighbor
They took advantage of me
You let them take their turns hitting me
I wish I would have never watched you
You really made my childhood a failure
What a fucking neighbor
Fred, you told me everybody was my neighbor
They took advantage of me
You let them take their turns hitting me
I wish I would have never watched you
You really made my childhood a failure
What a fucking neighbor!
I hate you!
I will too
I hate you!
I will too
I hate you!
I will too
I hate you!
I hate you!

[Outro]
Be my neighbor!
Be my neighbor!
This fucking thing that I feel!
This fucking thing that I feel!
My childhood is gone!
My childhood is gone!
This fucking thing that I feel!
This fucking thing that I feel!
My childhood is gone!
My childhood is gone!
I will too
I will too
I will too
I will too
I will too
I will too
I will too
I will too
I will too
I will too
