[Intro: Cedric Bixler-Zavala]

I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N

I'll follow you home after every show

[Verse 1: Cedric Bixler-Zavala]

Perforated into tiny fragments

Heavy breathing's your new fan club

John Hancock with the safety off

After every show

And how his pedestal fits like glove

Such a pity, I built no ladder from the roots

And above I'll be hacking off

After every show

[Chorus: Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Jim Ward]

I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N

Initiation

I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N

Initiation

I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N

Initiation

What!

What you doing?

We outside never win

Initiation

Parting contestants never win

What!

What you doing?

We outside never win

Initiation

Parting contestants never seem to win

[Verse 2: Cedric Bixler-Zavala, with Jim Ward]

Watch you clap your hands by the stage

Lend me your ears for just another page

In the book that your friend signed yesterday

When I told you not to bother to holler

Your telephone's the one that helped

Me wrap the cord around your neck

You know, you're beautiful when you're

Dead!

[Chorus: Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Jim Ward]

I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N

Initiation

I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N

Initiation

I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N

Initiation

What!

What you doing?

We outside never win

Initiation

Parting contestants never win

What!

What you doing?

We outside never win

Initiation

Parting contestants never seem to win
