Lyrics: The Emo Song

[Andrew]
Dear Diary, mood, apathetic
My life is spiralling downward.
I couldn't get enough money to go to the bloody Blood Romance
And suffocate my dry concert
It sucks 'cause they play some of my favorite songs
Like "Stab My Heart Because I Love You"
And "Rip Apart My Soul" and of course "Stabby, Rip, Stab, Stab"
And it doesn't help that I couldn't get my hair into that flippy thing either
Like that guy from that band can do some days anyway

[Adam]
I'm an Emo kid nonconforming as can be
You'd be nonconforming too you if you looked just like me
I have paint on my nails and make up on my face
I'm almost Emo enough to start shaving my legs
Cause I feel real' deep when I'm dressing in drag
I call it freedom of expression, most just call me a fag
Cause they're dudes look like chicks, they're chicks look like dikes
Cause Emo is one step below transvestite

Stop my breathing and slit my throat, I must be emo
I don't jump, around when I go to shows, I must be emo

I'm dark and sensitive with low self esteem
The way I dress makes everyday feel like Halloween
I have no real problems but I like to make believe
I stole my sister's mascara, now I'm grounded for a week
Sulking and writing poetry are my hobbies
I can't get through a Hawthorn Heights album without sobbing
Girls keep breaking up with me; it's never any fun
They say they already have a pussy; they don't need another one

Stop my breathing and slit my throat, I must be Emo
I don't jump around when I go to shows, I must be Emo
Dye my hair, and polish on my toes, I must be Emo
I play guitar and write suicide notes, I must be Emo

[Andrew]
My life is just a black abyss
It's so dark, and it's suffocating me
Grabbing me harding and squeezing me tight
Tighter than a pair of my little sister's jeans
Which look great on me

[Adam]
When I get depressed I cut my wrists in every direction
Hearing songs about getting dumped give me an erection
I write in a life journal and wear thick-rimmed glasses
I tell my friends I bleed black, I cry during classes
I'm just a bad, cheap, imitation of goth
You can read "Catcher In The Rye" and watch me jack off
I wear skin tight clothes, while hating my life
If I said I liked girls, I'd only be half right

I look like I'm dead and dress like a homo, I must be Emo
Screw X-box I play old-school Nintendo, I must be Emo
I like to whine and hit my per-en-tals, I must be Emo
Me and my friends all look like clones, I must be Eeeeemo

[Andrew]
My parents don't get me you know
They think I'm gay just because they saw me kiss a guy
Well, a couple guys, but t's the 2000's
Can't two, or four dudes make out with each other with out being gay
Chicks dig that kinda' thing anyway right
I don't know diary, sometimes I think your the only one that gets me
You're my best friend... I feel like tacos
