Welcome to my Green Day Green May cover marathon! Here's song 23/31 that my buddy Evan (vocals) and I (everything else) covered. So tomorrow is Evan's birthday, and you know what he'd like more than anything? To be your Dominated Love Slave. That's coincidentally the title of this song, so if you forget, just look at the video title!
This one's an oldie from the album Kerplunk, and a perfect song for me and Evan to do together. We almost started up a country folk duo group, and we even put out a song called There Goes Another One in that sort of style which if you're interested in hearing can find here: https://youtu.be/PO8WG4Vc7nw ;)

Lyrics:
I want to be your dominated love slave
I want to be the one that takes the pain
You can spank me when I do not behave
Smack me in the forehead with a chain
Cause I love feelin' dirty
And I love feelin' cheap
And I love it when you hurt me
So drive them staples deep
I want you to slap me and call me naughty
Put a beltsander against my skin
I want to feel pain all over my body
Can't wait to be punished for my sins.
Cause I love feelin' dirty
And I love feelin' cheap
And I love it when you hurt me
So drive them staples deep
Cause I love feelin' dirty
And I love feelin' cheap
And I love it when you hurt me
So drrrriiiveeee.....Staples?
