College girl been good to me In a world where everything is sheep So good to me She's just like speed to me Poison her hit parade Drink up this college town Gonna burn the field house down Sabotage the homecoming game Give the game ball back to the visiting team Poison her hit parade Tell your mama that I will not work I'm going down to Galesburg Got back from East Moline Another big game is what I seen Poison the hit parade There'll be more blood and love than guts and good luck And more of that *** and less of that cheap talk More you swing, the less you'll duck More you spit, the less you'll suck Longer we reign, the harder we rust The visiting team's got God and trust We got the bomb and we got the rush Gonna slash the tires on the visiting bus 32 crossbuck, crack that block Gonna send their stars to the loading docks Turn this campus into dust Gonna build a statue where the union was Hear my band on the hit parade On a radio station out of East Moline Tell your mama that I'm never ever gonna go away And things are gonna have to be this way I believe that she believes I crumble into dust under the pressure College girl been good to me In a world where everything is sheep She's just like speed to me She took the game ball back from the visiting team Poison her hit parade Poison the hit parade, the hit parade I'm never ever gonna ever go away I'm never ever gonna ever go away I'm never ever gonna ever go away I'm never ever gonna ever go away
