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

Is this thing working? Is this thing on? 

In the hallway of a high school, anywhere USA 

There was a bully that would pick on a different kid, and it seemed like every day 

He had this pack of back slapping buddies, that would laugh and back him up all the way 

And this screaming girlfriend who would make believe in everything hed say 

Is this thing working? Is this thing on? 

Because then one day this kid, that hed beat up a couple time before 

Realized, to even his own surprise, that he probably could indeed take more 

And with that he hatched an evil plan to make that devil pay 

He walked up to him, in the middle of the gym, and he found the nerve to say 

you gonna hit somebody, today? You gonna hit me too. 

In fact, youre gonna hit me every day, because now Im picking on you 

And as crazy as it all might sound right now, Im not stopping until Im through 

Its too late to beg for mercy 

Is this thing working? Is this thing on? 

Because that bully he just laughed and laughed, of course, and so did all of his friends 

And he beat that poor kid unmercifully, for days and days on end 

Only.slight less impressively each time, to that pretty girl, and all of his friends 

Who would eventually, secretly, start hoping for that kid to win 

So, it this thing working? Is this thing on? 

You know, youll never hear him say this now, because he thinks we still dont know 

But winning this battle every day cost our bully the war a long time ago 

And of all the scars hes got to show, for every blow that kid sneaks in 

The worst one is probably knowing that tomorrow hes going to have to get up 

And fight that kid again 

Is this thing working? Is this thing on?
