Strength Through Music
[Spoken intro]
A peculiar thing happened to me this morning
Just as I reached into my pocket to find it empty of any sou
I saw two broken twigs on the ground
Shaped like the Greek letters "F" and "S"
"F" and "S", Helium, "F" and "S"
These are the chemical symbols for Iron and Sulfur
It was a sign, I’m sure, for me to make gold from these two elements
I have been working all day
Over these hellish flames

[Verse 1]
Locked in his bedroom
He saw the world
A web of answers
And cumshot girls

[Chorus]
Tick tick tick tick tick
Tick tick tick tick tick

[Verse 2]
Don't bother blaming
His games and guns
He's only playing
And boys just want to have fun
[Verse 3]
He picked a soundtrack
And packed his bag
He hung his walkman
Around his neck

[Chorus]
Tick tick tick tick tick
Tick tick tick tick tick

[Verse 4]
It's so simple
The way they fall
No cry, no whimper
No sound at all

[Chorus]
Tick tick tick tick tick
Tick tick tick tick tick
Tick tick tick tick tick
Tick tick tick tick tick
Tick tick tick tick
Boom
