The Lyrics
You'd think that donating blood would be pretty simple. In, stab, bleed, biscuit, out. How hard is that?
Other people have lives, can't say that that's not true, boy
You're a prick if you do
And what's also facts is that some folks might die
'Cause their veins are really dry
So I planned to do the honourable thing
And help those folks, though it might sting
Take blood from me, happy to bleed for once
Said as a joke but these doctors suck, see
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
Equipment's all here (hoo, hoo), set for draining there (hoo, hoo, equipment's here)
But I'm still here (hoo, hoo, I'm still here) and not drained, not fair (hoo, hoo, still not drained, not fair)
I won't quit
'Til I see that precious red stuff start to pour
So poke holes in me some more
Ooh-ooh boy, ooh-ooh boy, this'll hurt a bunch, don't care, just go now
Stab ev'ry single pore you see
Just let me know if you have to swap, please
Failed to make my left arm bleed
I'm happy to turn over, fine to turn
Just get draining, just get draining all I'm worth, see
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
Know there's blood in here (hoo, hoo), in my veins somewhere (hoo, hoo, ripe for draining)
Has to be here (hoo, hoo, has to be here) in my veins, not fair (hoo, hoo, in my veins, not fair)
Where's the red?
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna drain my veins
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna drain my veins
Feels a bit weird to want to bleed out, for sure (I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna drain my veins)
Like a corpse upon the floor (I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna drain my veins)
Ooh-ooh boy, ooh-ooh boy, kinda crazy look, just how I roll now (I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna drain my veins)
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna drain my veins (wanna drip)
I just wanna (I just wanna drain), I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna drain my veins (blood)
Blood so I'll earn, so that I'll earn (I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna drain my veins)
The good feeling, want that feeling that won't hurt, you see (I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna drain my veins)
Ooh-ooh boy, ooh-ooh boy, pretty crazy look, just how I roll now (I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna drain my veins)
So stab me in my pores (I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna drain my veins)
Been fifty pokes and not one hole bleeds (I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna drain my veins)
Want that blood outside of me
You're a prick if you do
And what's also facts is that some folks might die
'Cause their veins are really dry
So I planned to do the honourable thing
And help those folks, though it might sting
Take blood from me, happy to bleed for once
Said as a joke but these doctors suck, see
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
Equipment's all here (hoo, hoo), set for draining there (hoo, hoo, equipment's here)
But I'm still here (hoo, hoo, I'm still here) and not drained, not fair (hoo, hoo, still not drained, not fair)
I won't quit
'Til I see that precious red stuff start to pour
So poke holes in me some more
Ooh-ooh boy, ooh-ooh boy, this'll hurt a bunch, don't care, just go now

No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood
No-one here can drain my veins of their blood

I bleed it out, diggin' deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out, diggin' deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out, diggin' deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away, just to throw it away, I bleed it out
I bleed it out, diggin' deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out, diggin' deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away, just to throw it away, I bleed it out
