Pricks 2020 04:35
Stand on your own two feet you’re a man now too feel the beat of the drums as they take a chunk out of you feel the beat of the drums and the rumble of bass as they’re taking over you and I know you feel it too You’re standing tall you’re a big boy aren’t you now son? feel the heat of the gun in your hands, what have you done? feel the heat of the gun in your hands as the bullet hits the wall thank god you missed them all your best friend just called you a prick and he said it like he didn’t really mean it now your confused were you abused you wouldn’t take that from someone new you’re a big tough man, no-one fucks with you You’ve got a lot to learn and a lot more to forget I’ve seen less bullshit from the tory cabinet I’ve seen less bullcrap from the tinfoil hats and the anti-vaxers too rubellas gonna get you My best friend just called me a prick and he said it like he really fucking meant it with friends like this you don’t need no more if I know one thing it’s what friends are for it’s for calling you a prick, when you’ve been a prick You’ve been a prick mate Every time I turn around I see the same old pricks in this same old town Every time I turn around I see the same old pricks in this same old town Every time I turn around I see the same old pricks in this same old town I hear the same old licks from brand new bands I hear the same old licks from brand new bands I hear the same old licks from brand new bands My girlfriends got two fingers in a V her arm’s outstretched and she’s pointing them at me I’d like to think it’s a peace sign not aimed at me but there’s no one there and god knows what I’ve done there’s no one there and god knows what I’ve done

Rat vs Mole 03:23
Rat vs Mole who will win? he’s coming for you it’s really happening Rat vs Mole watch your back before you know it surprise attack Rat vs mole lay your traps and snap You’ll lie if they ask you are you a cop? he’s coming for you and he ain’t gonna stop They’ve got their man On the inside can’t flush him out because he knows how to hide He’s coming for you He’s coming for you what can you do? Rat vs Mole you decide but be careful and don’t trust their lies You’re out of control and out of time cos in the end everyone dies Don’t tell a soul don’t call me lazy I steal my song ideas from Martin Scorsese Running in a circle you can’t define are you in front or are you behind? You’re on his tail and he’s on yours you’ll use your smarts he’ll use his teeth and his claws He’s coming for you He’s coming for you what can you do? Positive punishment and as means of encouragement never really worked on me back me in a corner and I better warn you this rat has teeth And you’ll find out soon enough that as long as I’m breathing I will be seeking the proof that I need Rat vs mole lay your traps and snap
