lyrics

Y’know it doesn’t take a lot to make a fella mad.
Just go down to the ocean, drown everything he had,
and smile at him real wide – let him know you’re glad
that he’s lying there in ruins, that it makes you feel rad.

One day we’ll all be that bug beneath the shoe.
Today it’s me, but brother! next time it just might be you.

Y’know it doesn’t take a lot to make me hate a man.
Just take the things you know I love and pound them full of sand,
and tell me that it’s my own fault for dirtying your hand
with the blood that flows from out these wounds – I hope you understand:

One day we’ll all be that bug beneath the shoe.
Today it’s me, but brother! next time it just might be you.

Y’know it doesn’t take a lot to turn yourself to scum.
Just find a will and break it like a hammer on a thumb.
Howl like the alpha-male! Proud! And loud! And dumb!
Now you’ve conquered someone’s body! See how easy you become
scum.
