Babybird - Bad Old Man lyrics

He had a bad old man who beat him Took a hammer to his knees just to please him Now he's thirty-five and half-alive He's an open mouth in a beehive He's gonna smile and be happy Make everyone know that he's happy Put his smiling face on a billboard Kiss him from your car, he's happy He's not happy With his swollen lips around his early teens In his dress he can't believe it's in his genes Some days he's half-man, and then he's half-God But on his blue days he wouldn't touch his greens He's gonna make you smile and be happy Make everyone know that he's happy Put his smiling face on the TV Kiss him from your chair, make him happy He drowned his stepson in the duckpond Let the wifebeater out to make a pop song He put razor blades in the ice cream Shot a paedophile in a wet dream Mmm He's got a young man who feeds him Whispers sweet nothings just to please him He makes him cool for the TV Makes half the man he is a celebrity With his swollen lips around his early teens In his dress he can't believe it's in his genes He's half a man, and half a God One half b**h, one half dog. He drowned his stepson in the duckpond Let the wifebeater out to make a pop song He put razor blades in the ice cream Made nobody famous on the big screen Put the whole wide world on remote control He put a five times rapist on his TV show On every single channel in every single home You can even hear his voice on the telephone Mmm Shalala
