Hey!

Whip Yourself!  It's your reward
For not crossing that finish line,
That God the Father, drew for you,
Even if God's only your Old Man.

Whip Yourself!  It's your reward
For falling short of the state of grace,
That place your mother, pointed you towards,
But she could never go there herself. NOT ONCE!

Whip Yourself!  It's your reward
For the fuck-up that you are.
For the fuck-up you're so good at being.
Ah, Goddamit I'll never get this verse right!

I guess I'll just have to whip myself!
Whip it, Special clipart/spk_blk_on_grn.gif!

SOLO

Whip Yourself!  It's your reward
For all the sins you committed today.
But there's no cop, tap-tap-tappin on your shoulder
Your parish priest, isn't here to say:

Whip Yourself!  It's your reward
For all the friends that you turned away.
Don't they still love you? Huh! They never loved you,
So maybe they were never your friends anyway.

Whip Yourself!  It's your reward
When your lover shouts, "You're nothin but a fuckin zero!"
You've forgotten your role in the play of your life.
Y'know, in scene after scene you're s'pose to be the hero.

Hey!

Ending:

Crack! Thank you sir. May I have another?!
Crack! You're getting to be a big boy.
Crack! You're gonna have to learn to do this for yourself.
Crack! It's your reward.
Crack! For being such a shit
Crack! Your gonna grow up to be just like your daddy.
Crack! [Etc. to fade.]

Repeat as needed:

I'm better than that!
I'm better than that!
I'm better than that!
I'm better n 'at!
