    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Brain Burn

    by: Anvil

    Your mouth is bigger
    Than a two car garage
    An assault to my ears
    A verbal barrage
    Your point of view is nowhere
    Nowhere like you
    Your attitude stinks
    Like the garbage you spew
    Chorus:
    Brain burn
    You give me brain burn
    Superficial outlook
    Shallow to the core
    Minuscule mind games
    You're nothing but a bore
    Out of sight, out of mind
    Out of touch, out of time
    -Chorus-
    You think you're right
    But you're always proven wrong
    The proof is in the pudding
    The way you sing your song
    Out of touch, out of time
    -Chorus-
    Nothin but a bonehead
    Solid as a rock
    You make me laugh
    You're something to mock
    You play it safe
    And never take a chance
    You're just a wimp
    You can see it in a glance
    Out of sight, out of mind
    -Chorus 3X-
