Lyrics:

Since they've been gone 
Well I feel like I can't get a mug any day of the week 
Since they've been gone 
I've been campin' at Commons just to make sure I can get me some tea
Well I know Bates mugs ain't got to no legs, it ain't like they went for a walk or a jog
You know I ain't had enough hot caffeine
Since they've been gone

Since they've been gone
It doesn't suck any more than when you are half asleep in an 8 am class
Since they've been gone
And all you needed was a hot cup of joe, 
But all the other kids got there too fast

Back back bring 'em back back back 
You know you've got to bring them back

Since they've been gone
I ain't had a cap on any soda, water, coffee or tea
Since they've been gone
I can't count all the times you've spilled green tea and honey on me 
Ever since the day they left me, I've been drinkin' outta small paper cups
So if you've hoarding Bates mugs in your room,
Then, please give them up!
