Continuing to describe and emphasise the desire to harm and/or kill someone, using different violent methods.

Another series of graphic threats and descriptions of violence, indicating that the singer has a lot of pent-up aggression or anger, and is using this song as an outlet for those feelings.

Ay! A cold freezin' night. Oh, Baby. Ah, Ow, Ah, Ow.

You are such a NERD. Asshole.

I wish I was a boy. You're gonna get busted. Kill 'em! Dead.
Reiterating some of the earlier themes, including the desire to be male and the hostility towards others, adding in a note of caution or threat towards those others.

I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna rip your hair off. You're gonna be bald, and everybody's gonna think: "Eh, look at Meredith, she's an idiot, ha ha ha."
Going back to the violent and crude imagery, while also including some possible self-doubt and anxiety about how one's actions and words might be perceived by others. This may hint that some of the anger and aggression is rooted in self-esteem issues.

(Yo, hey _______ a nerd. You're a nerd! Ha ha ha ha ha!)
Including another possible non-sequitur or in-joke, using the repeated insult of 'nerd' to add some levity to the overall dark tone of the song.
