Staying at home
Is making me sick
Cuz I’m missing out
On my one life to live
But the phone doesn’t ring
And everything’s closed
All dressed up for depression
Again I suppose
But I hear there’s a girl
Who lives in our town
Down by the graveyard’s
Where she can be found
She’s got a method
When you wanna end it
If you feel like breaking
She’ll teach you to bend it
She’s teaching
Goth lessons
To the neighborhood kids
She’s gonna test em
On what it means to be pissed
She’s mad at the world
And you can be to
Just follow her lead
It’s so easy to do
First paint your room black
Tell your mom to frig off
Put on Sisters of Mercy
Not Dua Lipa
If you wanna look hot
When the temperatures top
Wear a crushed velvet cape
And a pair of arm socks
She’s teaching
Goth lessons
To those who are bored
She’ll answer questions
If you can afford
She’s mad at her dad
And probably yours too
And if your big brother teased her
She’s mad at him too
At rainy day recess she puts on The Craft
And at graduation she said we were already dead
And just laughed and laughed
Yeah I knew a girl
Who could show you the way
But the PTA burned her at the stake
For teaching
Goth lessons
To your wayward kids
They thought she
Wouldn’t infect us
But she already did
We’ll burn down your rules
And dump black paint in your pools
Until goth lessons are mandated in schools
