Richard Hung Himself Lyrics - Undisputed Attitude - Slayer

Originally performed by Adolescents 

Needles stabbed into the walls 

The executioners curtain call 

Fighting back he found his life drowning 

And there was no way up 

Cause Richard hung himself 

Richard hung himself 

It happened just the other day 

Jesus caught and pushed him off the shelf 

He thought he find a better way 

With slashing, and stabbing, and manning and ramming 

Death room with black curtains 

Where his clothes once laid 

The roof kicked out and the rope tied to the rafters 

A quick kick of the cahir 

And it's all through 

If Richie only knew 

Cause Richard hung himself 

Richard hung himself 

It happened just the other day 

Jesus caught and pushed him off the shelf 

He thought he find a better way 

With needles, injecting and shooting himself contagiously 

His life suddenly flashed right before his eyes 

What a swinging guy 

Turning gray with mold 

This is when he died 

Give it up give up 

Throw it all away 

Burning acid bath 

Pulmonary wrath 

Feel the boiling surge 

It won't let you go 

Throw it all away 

Swinging in his room 

Richie won't come out to play 

That poor bastard hung himself the other day 

Oh how the years seem to fly by 

Is death the final high 

Cause Richard hung himself 

Richard hung himself 

It happened the other day 

Jesus caught and pushed him off the shelf 

He thought he find a better way 

With slashing and stabbing and ripping 

And stabbing and shredding and slashing 

And shredding and stabbing and ripping 

And tearing attacking and manning 

And taking the body god gave to you 

I gotta get out 

Cause Richard hung himself 

Cause Richard swung himself 

Cause Richard strung himself 

The needles stung himself 

It pulled him off the shelf 

Cause Richard hung himself
