about

Mr. Miyagi, can you help me?
I’ve been beaten down again
Behind the dumpsters in a dark alley
I crossed paths with the opposite of a friend

A gaggle of shadows hiding behind some
Moppy-headed boys
Dressed up in skeleton suits
They tossed me around like I was a toy
I don’t ever want that to happen to me again
I want to become a someone that I want to defend

I want you as much I want the whole world to karate chop
Me in the face while I’m singing the same old tunes
I’m tired of being the fool

Mr. Miyagi, everyone’s asking
Where I procured this purple eye
I lied and said I fell off of my bike
In reality, they beat the shit out of me
It was so embarrassing but
I found a way to hide behind a smile

They drove away in convertible cars
Without a bit of remorse
Now I pray for the day that I’m one with the force
And they wish that it never happened before

I want you as much I want the whole world to karate chop
Me in the face while I’m singing the same old tunes
I’m tired of being the fool

I’ll wax and I’ll wane til the rain comes
I’ll stay at your house as paint your entire fence I’ll
Stand on a boat and I’ll balance and ask
“What’s the point of all of this?”

I want you as much I want the whole world to karate chop
Me in the face while I’m singing the same old tunes
