The Class of Self Destruction
Welcome boys and girls, in my class you need to be,
Want to know how to get low, then you just follow me,
First ignoring everything your ma and pa did say,
That will be the first step, to get you on your way.
Now you need to sleep around and get yourself a name,
If you think your rough enough, you could go on the game,
Start it slow, just on the wine, take it nice and easy,
Don't forget to find a man, just make sure he's real sleazy,
Let him hit you round a bit and break your heart in two,
Now you see we're getting there, your starting to look blue,
Lesson toughens up a bit, it's time to add some gear,
Just a few times, that's enough, I've nearly got you dear.
Almost there, it's hard to bear, the fact you think you know
Just how hard, to climb back up, once you have got so low,
The moral of this story is, don't do just what I did,
If you heed a word I said, you'll stay a quite good kid.
