Pricks 2020

from The Year of the Rat by The Amber Bugs

lyrics

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
