Is This Thing On? Lyrics - Peace Queer - Snider Todd

Is this thing working? 

Is this thing on? 

Is this thing working? 

Is this thing on? 

Is this thing working? 

Is this thing on? 

In the hallway of a high school 

Anywhere USA 

There was a bully pickin' on a different kid 

It seemed like every day 

A pack of back slapping buddies 

Laughing, backing him all the way 

His screaming girlfriend 

Makin' believe in everything he'd say 

Is this thing working? 

Is this thing on? 

Is this thing working? 

Is this thing on? 

And then one day some kid 

That he'd beat up a couple times before 

Realized, to even his surprise 

That he probably could indeed take more 

And with that he hatched the evil plan 

To make that devil pay 

He walked up to him, in the middle of the gym 

Found the nerve to say 

You gonna hit somebody, today? 

Gonna hit me, too 

In fact, you're gonna hit me every day 

'Cause now I'm picking on you 

And as crazy as that might sound right now 

I'm ain't stopping until I'm through 

It's too late to beg for mercy 

And now there's nothing you can do 

Is this thing working? 

Is this thing on? 

Is this thing working? 

Is this thing on? 

Well, that bully just laughed and laughed 

Of course, and so did all of his friends 

And he beat that kid unmercifully 

For days and days on end 

Only less and less impressively 

To that girl and all his friends 

Who would eventually, secretly 

Start hoping, the kid might win 

Is this thing working? 

Is this thing on? 

Is this thing working? 

Is this thing on? 

Monday, they rolled around in dirt 

Tuesday, they rolled in grass 

Wednesday, they actually both got hurt 

Throwing each other across 

Thursday the mail, it was out by the dumpster 

Friday study hard 

A day in and out, year after year 

Without ever letting up at all 

Is this thing working? 

Is this thing on? 

Is this thing working? 

Is this thing on? 

And now you'll never hear him say this 'cause 

He thinks people still don't know 

But winning the battle every day 

Cost our bully the war a long time ago 

And of all the scars he's got to show 

For every blow that kid sneaks in 

The worst one's knowing 

That tomorrow he's going to have to get up 

And fight that kid again
