I won't be the one you like, I won't be the boy next door, I won't be the chosen one.
That's not what I'm here for.
I don't like the way you are, I despise what you hold dear. Don't you try to make me change.
I'll haunt you for a thousand years.
"Doctor, don't you talk that way!"
"Doctor, don't you ------"
"Doctor, stay away from me!
"Sick is what I'd rather be!"
(Lead Riff)
"Doctor, doctor, doctor Death!"
