Explode

[Intro]

Peso... Joga... ginga... roda

[Verse 1]

Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun / With a lighter and some hairspray / Smoking in the girls' room /

Not worse than Shelley's rape behind the McDonald's / By a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybody / Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some / Now we look back and see that she didn't know how

[Pre-Hook]

We never thought that we'd get caught up / Stuck in the teenage waste

[Hook]

As we explode / As we explode /

As we explode / As we explode

[Verse 2]

Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the Kmart / Rolling around in them to see if you would get prickled /

Slip the acid on your tongue rooftop mall parkade / We couldn't get enough /

Then count the stars and the ten million woes / Just you and the universe judging each other

[Pre-Hook]

We never knew that we'd get caught up

Stuck in the teenage waste

[Hook]

As we explode / As we explode /

As we explode / As we let go... yeah /

Peso... roda... ginga... joga

[Verse 3]

It's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belong / Got a shiner now and it's more than a battle scar / More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell /

At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break / Such a good, good story to tell

[Bridge]

You bully, you break, you bully, you break / You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake / You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt, you hit it / And you're in it and it's spinning / And it's wild

[Pre-Hook]

We never thought that we'd get caught up /

Stuck in the teenage waste

[Hook]

As we explode / As we explode /

As we explode / As we explode

[Outro]
