Lyrics

"Bleach" version

Afraid, to grade
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cross, self-loss (Cross, says floss?)
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet, your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Some, fear none
Wouldn't it be fun?

Your eyes... Teacher said (x3)
Preacher said

Don't have nothing for you (x7)

Spell, the smell
Wouldn't it be fun?
Search, for a church
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet, your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cold, and coals
Wouldn't it be fun?

Your eyes... Teacher said (x2)
Your eyes... Preacher said
Preacher said

Don't have nothing for you (x7)

Don't have nothing for you (x9)
