DullBlah(Verse 1) I spilled the milk again, man, right across the kitchen floor, My bottom lip started trembling, disrupting dreams I stored. Mom's face turned to thunder, her eyes like laser beams, She leaned right down, staring straight at all my schemes. That phrase hung in the air, chilling to the bone, "You wanna cry, son? I'll give you something to cry about when I get home!"
(Pre-Chorus) Yeah, the memory hits hard, the feeling still so clear. Those words they used to tell us, sparking all our fear. We tried to play it cool, tried to hide the mistake. But the parental power? Man, it was never fake!
(Chorus) Hear the echo in the hallway! That voice from long ago! Every one of us, man, we all used to know! The rules they laid down heavy, the warnings sharp and true! That Lecture Anthem playing, for me and for you! We braced for the consequences, knew we were out of line! That old school discipline? Man, you couldn't be b**t!
(Verse 2) "Don't Make Me Come Over There") Down at the park bench, pushing boundaries way too far, Throwin' sand and yelling, next to Dad's b**t-up car. We thought we were invisible, thought we were good enough, Then that voice cut through the air, sharp and pretty rough. We froze up on the seesaw, paralyzed by the fear, 'Cause Dad's voice just bellowed, so everyone could hear: "I warned you two already! Don't make me come over there!"
(Pre-Chorus) Yeah, the memory hits hard, the feeling still so clear. Those words they used to tell us, sparking all our fear. We tried to play it cool, tried to hide the mistake. But the parental power? Man, it was never fake!
(Chorus) Hear the echo in the hallway! That voice from long ago! Every one of us, man, we all used to know! The rules they laid down heavy, the warnings sharp and true! That Lecture Anthem playing, for me and for you! We braced for the consequences, knew we were out of line! That old school discipline? Man, you couldn't be b**t!
(Verse 3) The big one. The escalation. When the line was truly breached, You knew that mercy's water had totally been leached. No more running to hide, just standing there petrified, You heard the sound of leather, with nothing left to hide. Dad didn't even yell, he just stood there with the grin, And that low, warning growl: "I'm taking off my belt!" Man, your whole life flashed before you, right then and right there.
(Outro)
The Lecture Anthem... still rings true... (Music fades quickly with a final, heavy synth hit.)
**WHOOSH - CRACK**
**CRIES OF PAIN**
