billy only liked the beginning
oh but joey he loved the end
they'd drop me right in the middle
wondering what the hell happened
how scumbag of them
well the only boys i love
they're the best of the worst
so if there only was a medal
for most likely to get hurt
hell i'd get first
but scumbag city i'm leaving you
i've got a whole lot of better things i could do
scumbag city it's time for me to go
but i'm sure that i'll be back tomorrow
joey always bought me mcflurries
because he knew my favorite kind
then he'd never answer my calls
just to mess with my mind
that should've been the first sign
and billy'd always catch the bugs
that were stuck on my floor
but then he'd ask me
why i never gave him more
what the hell more could he have asked for?
scumbag city i'm leaving you
i've got a whole lot of better things i could do
scumbag city it's time for me to go
but i'm sure that i'll be back tomorrow
it's not your fault it's mine that's a scumbag's favorite line
