#hey-oh

shanty-like, aggressive but ear-catching tone. heard sung occasionally by upperclassmen.

hey-oh, you claim simplicity

hey-oh, no accountability

hey-oh, you say it’s easy to be dangerous and free

but don’t come runnin’ back in tears when suddenly you see

a life more foul than death lives many a man like thee

hey-oh, tread carefully

hey-oh, listen carefully

trust your mind above your eyes, hearts are fooled by less more easily

so before those waves come breaking on the shore to collect me

a warning or a kindness or what have you, still to heed:

keep your nails in your pockets and your name behind your teeth

hey-oh, in your pockets

hey-oh, behind your teeth

nails in your pockets and secrets behind your teeth.
