  • Oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God
    Oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God
    They're gonna eat me up for breakfast
    You think you look good in whatever they sugar coat you in
    And my body is a temple, you can worship at my feet
    But I might kick you in the teeth so
    So even when you're spitting blood
    You would savor that for me

    'Cause I got so down I held the world for ransom
    Lonely, bored and bad, thank God I'm handsome, so handsome

    I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
    I know I should be pickin' up the pieces
    But it doesn't really matter, it's what you thought it were
    When you got nothin' to lose
    Everybody else I know, it sucks to be in misery
    As if it was contagious
    So come to me and promise me you'll
    Catch me if you can

    'Cause I got so down I held the world for ransom
    Lonely, bored and bad, thank God I'm handsome
    I'm as awful as they come, oh, what a pity
    So I thank the Lord above that I am pretty, so pretty
    Oh I'm, p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p, so pretty
    P-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p, so pretty

    Well, I got so down I held the world for ransom
    Lonely, bored and bad, thank God I'm handsome
    Arresting, repossessing and disarming
    Oh, what a stroke of luck that I am charming (I am charming)
    Well, I heard that I am wanted by committee (by committee)
    I just thank the Lord above that I am pretty, so pretty Writer/s: Arni Hjorvar Arnason, Cole Marsden Greif Neill, Frederick Cowan, Justin James Hayward-Young, Peter Gareth Christopher Robertson

  • Rachel Marr from FlintshireI wish song writers would leave the Lord (our God, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ) out of songs unless of course they are to praise and worship Him. Really bad song, just seen it performed live on tfi Friday and the lead singer sounded weird and you couldn't hear the words properly ... probably a good thing considering.
