Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanted someone strong who could protect me
I let his anger fester and infect me
His solution is a lie, no one here deserves to die
Except for me and the monster I created
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Heads up, J.D., I'm a dead girl walking (Hey, yo, Westerberg)
Can't hide from me, I'm a dead girl walking (Hey, yo, Westerberg)
And there's your final bell
It's one more dance and then farewell
Cheek to cheek in hell with a dead girl walking
[Chorus]
Whoa
Come on, Westerberg
Whoa
Here we go, here we go, now
[Verse 2]
Veronica, Jason Dean told me you'd just committed suicide
Yeah, well, he's wrong about a lot of things
Oh, I threw together a lovely tribute
Especially considering the short notice
Ms. Fleming, what's under the gym?
The boiler room
That's it
Veronica, what's going on?
[Chorus]
Got no time to talk, I'm a dead girl walking (Hey, yo, Westerberg)
Hey, yo, Westerberg, tell me what's that sound?
Here comes Westerberg, comin' to put you in the ground
Go, go, Westerberg
Give a great big yell
Westerberg will knock you out
And send you straight to Hell
[Verse 3]
Step away from the bomb
This little thing? Hardly call this a bomb
This is just to trigger the packs of thermals upstairs in the gym
Those are bombs
People are gonna see the ashes of Westerberg High School
And they're gonna think, "There's a school that self destructed
Not because society doesn't care
But because that school was society"
The only place that Heathers and Marthas can get along is in Heaven
[Bridge]
I wish your mom had been a little stronger
I wish she stayed around a little longer
I wish your dad were good
I wish grown-ups understood
I wish we'd met before
They convinced you life is war
I wish you'd come with me
I wish I had more T-N-T
[Chorus]
Ah, hey, yo, Westerberg
Tell me what's that sound?
Here comes Westerberg, comin' to put you in the ground
Go, go, Westerberg
Give a great big yell
Westerberg will knock you out
And send you straight to-
