The Story of Jay (You’re a Worm) Lyrics by A Slight Threat

Chalkboard

2022

[Verse 1]
Underground is where I am, right now
It's where I live in town (hehe)
My name is Jay, or at least that's what they call me now
Doing fine, somehow (and then they say...)
[Chorus]
Hold on! You'll go on!
And maybe this time, you'll dig your way out!
Midnight! It's alright!
And maybe this time, you'll burrow your way out!
What you do, what do you do? (You're a worm!)
[Verse 2]
Deluging down on what I think is stone, this is the time I roam (oh)
For months I'm here, with nobody else at home, I'm always all alone
(Hey! You!) Outside the ground, I move through all the rain
I make some friends today (hehe... yeah)
It's not that bad! I feel it when they say, "we really like you, Jay!"
(And of course, they always say...)
[Chorus]
Hold on! You'll go on!
And maybe this time, you'll dig your way out!
Midnight! It's alright!
And maybe this time, you'll burrow your way out!
What you do, what do you do?
(You're a worm) You're a worm...
[Bridge]
The one thing I've never thought would happen
Then something massive swept in
And now there's no way to get away from it
I know I'll never forget
[Verse 3]
Lots of things, they kind of sting, a bit, that's what I think of it (ow)
For all the time, I'm not even my own self
"I don't think that they're well"
Underground, not even like my home, a different kind of stone
(Oh no...) I think of both, but nothing, to me, is known
And now's the time to roam (1, 2, 3, 4!)
[Chorus]
Hold on! You'll go on!
And maybe this time, you'll dig your way out!
Midnight! It's alright!
And maybe this time, you'll burrow your way out!
What you do, what do you do?
(What you do, what do you do?)
