Official Lyrics[]

Charlie Scene: (Oh...)

Johnny 3 Tears: I'm just a sick man living in a sick land
Choking on the smoke of a billboard romance
Anybody know where the pigs put my coco?
Changed them plates on the powder blue DeSoto
Fuck no, it ain't Johnny 3T
Not till the good Lord comes to keep me
Keep these, all you weak and weeping
Sweating on the floor when you come to see me
You victims and you powder-mouth bitches
I hear you cluck once you duck-duck-duck...
And now we're two deep, here's number three
And it's sick, I'm sick, shit, it's just like me

Danny: I am never forgotten
This is the anthem for the sick and rotten
I am never forgotten
This is the anthem for all you sick and rotten

J-Dog: Step up and get knocked back, you'll lend up just blue-black
And girls with the riff-raff, so fuck all the feedback
We pack it up tightly, we rolled it up nicely
Rock Dickies and Nikes, running beside these
Real rockstars, fuck smashing guitars
Who's gonna sink or swim? You're swimming with sharks
I look up in the rear-view, Johnny in the mix too
Scraping up the curbs in my Cadillac 6'2
I've pissed out a six-pack making this eight-track
Who got a zig-zag? I'll trade you my gold plaque
To all the rockstars, powdered nose and glitter
Is it hard to be sick when you know that I'm sicker?

Danny: I am never forgotten
This is the anthem for the sick and rotten
I am never forgotten
This is the anthem for all you sick and rotten

Charlie Scene: Who created this madman who puts a matchstick in your ass-crack
And makes you lap dance on a gas can?
So don't sit down, get down on this track, man
Shake your hips now, this shit ain't no slow jam
Now this is your last chance to get your ass smacked with a backhand
And take a cat nap with the Sandman
So don't sit down, get down with the program
'Cause I'm sick with a dick thick like a Coke can
So bury your romance, I'll Lindsay your Lohan
Barbarian Conan with barbarian gonads
Bury opponents, Siberian slow dance
The king of the throne with rhymes fatter than Roseanne

Danny: I am never forgotten
This is the anthem for the sick and rotten
I am never forgotten
We've got the anthem to save the sick and rotten

(I am)
Danny, J-Dog, and Johnny 3 Tears: No man, no, we don't know
Together we die slow
Danny: (I am)
Danny, J-Dog, and Johnny 3 Tears: No man, no, we don't know
Together we die slow
Danny: (I am)
Danny, J-Dog, and Johnny 3 Tears: No man, no, we don't know
Together we die slow
Danny: (I am)
Danny, J-Dog, and Johnny 3 Tears: No man, no, we don't know
Together we die slow

Old version[]

According to the official lyrics, Johnny 3 Tears originally rapped "You victims and you powder mouth bitches/I hear you cluck once you duck-duck, chickens." However, on the released version, Johnny says "You victims and you powder mouth bitches/I hear you cluck once you duck-duck-duck..." with the word "chickens" being removed and an echo effect being added. It is unknown why this change occurred.
