Wuss Lyrics - King Missile

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4 

I was a teenage wuss. 

In junior high school, I had oily, stringy hair and lots of pimples. 

I wore really wussy clothes. 

Most of the other kids called me a faggot. 

Even some of the other wusses called me a faggot. 

There was maybe five kids in the whole school who were wussier than I was. 

I was really wussed out. 

I was afraid of girls, and guys scared the shit out of me. 

They used to say to me, "What are you, fucking queer?" 

They wanted me to fight, to prove I wasn't a faggot. 

But I didn't fight, I ran away. 

{cussing in the background} 

I was a wuss. 

I was never into any sports at all. 

I never took showers after gym class. 

I wore my gym clothes under my regular clothes, 

So I wouldn't have to change in front of everybody else. 

I was afraid to realize my full potential in school because, 

To the other kids, 

The smarter you were, 

The wussier you were 

I was a hopeless wuss. 

Wuss, Wuss, Wuss. 

I was into science fiction and math and chess. 

It was not fun being a wuss, and even now, 

Now that I'm not nearly as much of a wuss as I once was, 

I still feel kind of wussy from time to time: 

Residual wussiness- 

The kind of thing you can never really leave behind. 

That's the way it goes.
