  • I was wondering how you're feeling
    I thought I saw you kneeling
    And holding your gut last night
    It looked like you were praying
    But I heard someone saying
    You had been in an awful fight
    You get the worst of it everytime
    Lashing out with no reason or rhyme
    To lose all this rage, at so tender an age
    Little baby growing up in a rat cage

    Are you ready for the fallout?
    Who you gonna call out?
    When does it finally come to blows?
    I think that you're forgetting
    The blood that you'll be letting
    Has a price on it, no one knows it
    You may be suffering in your sleep
    You may be getting in too deep
    And you may not care for advice that I share
    If you want it then I'll be there

    Soon you will learn how to swallow a tear
    So when you're old you can cry in your beer
    Do you spit at the face staring back in the mirror?
    Do you have any self respect?

    Soon you will learn how to swallow a tear
    So when you're old you can cry in your beer
    Do you spit at the face staring back in the mirror?
    Do you have any self respect?

    Well what the hell did you expect?

    Are you ready for the fallout?
    Who you gonna call out?
    When does it finally come to blows?
    I think that you're forgetting
    The blood that you'll be letting
    Has a price on it, no one knows it
    You may be suffering in your sleep
    You may be getting in too deep
    And you may not care for advice that I share
    If you want it then I'll be there

    Are you ready for the fallout?
    Who you gonna call out? Writer/s: ANTHONY SCALZO
