For his final revenge, punk intensity propels the venomous desire to strike back that has consumed Skafish for an entire lifetime, based on the continuous bullying, societal abuse, Catholic school torment and family rejection that he experienced daily. Knife-edge synthesizer work and a dynamic classical/jazz piano solo lead to the end section where the payback that has been fervently sought is achieved.
lyrics
Hell exists on this earth
You have created mine
I’ll throw you in eternal fire
Gonna take it out on you (you), you (you)
You beautiful you
You can slice a stray dog
You can beat a retarded kld
But you kicked me in the teeth
Gonna take it out on you (you), you (you)
You beautiful you
The only wounds that time heals
Are just tiny hangnails
I reject false resolutions
Gonna take it out on you (you), you (you)
You beautiful you
We will throw a funeral
ln memory of you
You'll be six feet under
Gonna take it out on you (you), you (you)
You beautiful you (you), be (be),
Six (six) feet (feet), six feet under
I will live a short life
(ah, ah, ah,)
I won't resolve a thing
(ah, ah, ah,)
I will die suspended
(ah, ah, ah,)
But before I do
(ah, ah, ah,)
I’ll jump onto your heart
(ah, ah, ah,)
Trampoline on you
(ah, ah, ah,)
All your guts will fly out
(ah, ah, ah,)
I cease the life inside of you
(ah, ah, ah)
Jump on your heart
Spoken:
And just remember
All of this is because of you (you), you (you),
you (you), you (you), you (you), you (you),
you (you), you (you), you (you), you (you),
you (you), you (you), you (you), you (you),
you (you), you (you)
