Worm Man

Ramones · Halfway To Sanity [1987]

I'm a worm man

I'm fed up

There's no hope

I wanna puke

I want some dirt



I'm a w-w-worm man



Gonna crawl in a hole

Nobody's my friend

I'm no good to anyone

I want some dirt



Well all right, well all right

Well all right, well all right

Well all right, well all right

Well all right...hey!



I'm no good to anyone

Nobody's my friend

I'll never be happy

I hate myself



I wish I was dead

I wish I was dead

I wish I was dead

It remains a notable piece of work for fans exploring the band's catalog beyond their earliest hits.
