John Butler Trio - Bully lyrics

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 How they push & they push 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 With the troops fly in fly out Got no connection to country Don’t know what the f** 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
