Verse 2 Lyrics
They're out to get you better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy you anna be a man
You wanna stay alive better do what you can so beat it Just beat it
You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin with your life this aint no truth or dare
They'll kick you and they'll beat you and they'll tell you that its fair so Beat it
Just beat it
But you wanna be bad
Chorus

Verse 2 is the same as Verse 1, they riff is only used in the chorus. And yes half a step down. As for the solo...no idea. Great tab though
