Lyrics John Butler Trio – Bully
Text:
When I was just a little kid
‘Bout 3ft from the ground
Papa told me ’bout the bully boy
How they wanna mess you around
And they take & they take
Until there’s nothin’ more
Got your back up against the wall
Guess it’s time to settle the score
Let me tell ya, yeah they want your mind
Y’know they wanna take full control
Don’t you think about it
Then they wanna come & take your land
They don’t understand it’s your soul
Don’t you think about it
And as a matter of fact
We’re in the middle of a war between love & hate
Don’t you think about
When you see them comin’ on the rise
Best you better lock the gate
Bully
Bully
Bully
Bully
Nothin’ but a goddamn
Bully
Bully
Bully
Bully
Pirates roll into town
Got no connection to country
Don’t know what the fuck it’s about
And you can hit them over the head with the facts
You know it don’t make a goddamn dent
And everybody movin’ out of town
Because they can’t afford the rent
Let me tell ya, yeah they want your mind
You know they wanna take full control
Don’t you think about it
And then they wanna come & take your land
They don’t understand it’s your soul
Don’t you think about it
And as a matter of fact
We’re in the middle of a war between love & hate
Don’t you think about
When you see them comin’ on the rise
Best you better lock the gate
Bully
Bully
Bully
Bully
Nothin’ but a goddamn
Bully
Bully
Bully
Bully
Nothin’ but a goddamn
Bully
Bully
Bully
Bully
Nothin’ but a goddamn
Bully
Bully
Bully
Bully
The harder we become
The harder we fall
Watch how the cards
Come crumbling down
We can’t go on
Conquer and divide
We must stand strong
On solid ground
The harder we become
The harder we fall
Watch how the cards
Come crumbling down
We can’t go on
Conquer and divide
We must stand strong
On solid ground
Bully
Bully
Bully
Bully
Nothin’ but a goddamn
Bully
Bully
Bully
Bully
Nothin’ but a goddamn
Bully
Bully
Bully
Bully
Nothin’ but a goddamn
Bully
Bully
Bully
Bully
You ain’t nothin’ but
A bully boy
You ain’t nothin’ but
A bully boy
You ain’t nothin’ but
A bully boy
You ain’t nothin’ but
A bully boy
You ain’t nothin’ but
A bully boy
You ain’t nothin’ but
A bully boy
You ain’t nothin’ but
A bully boy
You ain’t nothin’ but
A bully boy
