The chorus of the song is "You can all just kiss off into the air, behind my back I can see them stare. They'll hurt me bad, but I won't mind. They'll hurt me bad, they do it all the time."
9. "...and nine, nine, nine for a ______..." Which two words complete the line for nine?

Answer: lost god

From allmusic.com: "There's sort of a justified paranoia here, in that the singer expects to be treated with undisguised contempt, and often is. Yet in the midst of all this pain and confusion, he draws a curious strength from his acceptance of (or, perhaps, resignation to) the torment."
10. "...and ten, ten, ten, ten for ______!" What is the ultimate reason to kiss off?

Answer: everything

Also from allmusic.com: "The famous count-off chant in the middle, a tremendously catchy lyrical gimmick, makes clear that the singer's feelings about his status are still quite conflicted. Each number corresponds to something wrong with his life, except eight which, in the middle of an otherwise gloomy recitation, he playfully 'forgets'. That flash of humor and spirit, popping up almost randomly in an oppressively bleak world, sums up the appeal of "Kiss Off" in a nutshell."
