Bully *Explicit Language*

You think you’re so great

Does picking on others get you off?

You’re a dick, you’re a jerk

You need to find a cliff to jump off

You ever hear the words

‘Treat others as you want to be treated’?

Or did you forget to learn that lesson

Because you were so conceited?

Everyone is created equal

It’s not your place to judge

You want to shove kids into lockers because you’re bigger?

Your heart must be made of sludge

No one deserves to be treated that way

Everyone deserves a safe place to learn

For everyone who bullies others

There’s a special place in Hell you’re gonna burn

It’s not cool, it’s not fun

To those who turn a blind eye, it’s okay

Until some kid shows up at school with a gun

Then they want to talk about

Where were their parents at

Where were YOU

When they were being treated like a door mat?

Teachers acting like

They didn’t see a thing

This is a big fuck you to bullies

They are the reason I sing

To prove to them I’m better

That I can rise above

I was one of the bullied

The one who got shoved

I can’t stand people who torment others

Does it help you sleep at night?

Knowing what you’re doing is wrong

Yet you try to justify it to make it right

It’s so stupid, so selfish, and so unjust

When you tease another human being until it hurts

Until they want nothing more than death

Because their very existence feels like a curse

So next time you go to bully someone, think

What would you do

If the roles were reversed

And you were bullied too?
