intro and verses

Riff 1
Coming home from the school today
Crying all along the way
Ain't no way for a boy to be
Begging ma to shave me please

Riff 1
You little punks think you own this town
Well someday someone's gonna bring you down
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy

Riff 1
You, take back what you said now
That's the last time i cry
You tell me what it is to be a friend, now
'Till i walk beside you on the street now

B
Ma won't shave me
A
Jesus can't save me

Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy

Going back to the school tomorrow
Hang my hairy head in sorrow
Ain't no way for a boy to be
Aint' no way to set me free, now

Ma won't shave me

Jesus can't save me

Do some variations on that with some nice gritty distortion 
and it should sound bootiful!
