Lyrics:
I, cannot disguise
All the stomach pains
And the walking with the canes
When you, do come out
And you whisper up to me in your life of tragedy
But I cannot grow
Till you eat the last of me
Oh when will I be free
And you,
A parasite
Just find another host
Just another fool to roast
Cause
You... My tape worm tells me what to do
You... My tape worm tells me where to go
Pull the tape worm out of your ass... HEY! [x4]
I cannot deny
All the evil traits and the filling of the crates
When you (you)
Do come out (out)
And you slither up to me your pimpin majesty
But I cannot grow
Till you eat the last of me
Oh when will I be free
And you, (you)
A parasite, (site)
Just find another host
Just another stool to post
Cause
You... My tape worm tells me what to do
You... My tape worm tells me where to go
Pull the tape worm out of your ass... HEY! [x3]
Pull the tape worm out of me
Of me
(Daron)
I'm just sitting in my room,
With a needle in my hand
Just waiting for the tomb
Of some old dying man
(Daron and Serj)
Sitting in my room,
With a needle in my hand
Just waiting for the tomb
Of some old dying man
Die
Cause
You... My tape worm tells me what to do
You... My tape worm tells me where to go
Pull the tape worm out of your ass... HEY! [x4]
HEY! [x4]
