Lyrics

Everybody wonders why we wear a ninja mask
It's for our own protection from our Sensei's deadly gas
It gets a little lonely sitting weeks up in a tree
Waiting for your mark, the way our Sensei says it ought to be

Times are tough for the ninja nowadays
We all got reviews but no one's getting a raise
The salary freeze put all budgets on a squeeze
Can't buy enough detergent to wash our ninja jeans
Now all field ninjas have bad B.O.
And the sensei gets the ladies cause he's the (ninja) CEO
He thinks he can play us for a bunch of fools
Time to go outside the lines and break some ninja rules

I reject your teaching
With a roundhouse kick to the face
You try to tear me down just to build me in your ways
You call me amateur
Can't tell me how to think
I don't have to wear black, I can wear the color pink
Cause I'm a mother fuckin' ninja
The kind I wanna be
I may be a misfit here
But I'll join others just like me
And so you better hope
We never meet again
I'll slit your throat with my garrote
And use your blood to wash my skin

Now I'm independent, unplugged if you will
Like in the movie Matrix, I took the red pill
I'm floating in the air, levitating cars
I can kill you with a look, don't need my throwing stars
I send all my dead bodies to my former boss
I'm making it my mission that he's feeling all the loss
I'm haunting all his children, I'm kicking his pet dog
His wife calls me and not the plumber to undo her clog
