Song lyrics

At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops, with him on top,
Lemon yellow sun, arms raised in a V,
The dead lay in pools of maroon below.

Daddy didn't give attention,
To the fact that mommy didn't care,
King Jeremy the Wicked, oh, ruled his world -
Jeremy spoke in class today [2x]

Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck.
But we unleashed a lion,
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast.
How could I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left,
My jaw left hurtin', ooh, dropped wide open,
Just like the day, oh, like the day I heard.

Daddy didn't give affection,
And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear,
King Jeremy the Wicked, ruled his world -
Jeremy spoke in class today [3x]

Try to forget this... try to forget this...
Try to erase this... try to erase this...
From the blackboard...
