 ‘Cause you brought out the worst in me

This is the part where they talk a little bit more from the stage, and the rest
of the instruments come in. I don’t know for how long this is played.

 ‘Cause everything you did was bad           Iiiihaaawwwww

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

 Went down to the local bar
 To buy my daddy a big cigar
 When I got home he was dead
 Somebody shot him in the head

 Chorus 1:

       Oh dear daddy
       You’re not gonna see me grieve
       ‘Cause you brought out the worst in me

Verse 2:

 When the funeral, it was through
 I had myself a barbecue
 Daddy’s bones they sure taste good
 I’d kill him myself if only I could

 Chorus 2:
     
       Oh dear daddy
       You’re not gonna see me sad
       ‘Cause everything you did was bad

       Iiiihaaawwwww
