Kill The Barflies Lyrics
It was all right there in front me
While on a club kid's high
On old folder labeled photography
With naked photos inside
Acting as if it were not happening
Were dead rappers on the television rapping
If you not scared then they're gonna make you
Feel your head tumble like the London Bridge
Dear tonight they've got you in their antenna
And their tracking
Wonder Twins activate! Megatron rejuvinate!
If this is nightlife then bring back the sun
Go ahead and count me out
All the boys with their headtrip
Calamaties
Scope girls that fall prey to them unwillingly
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
When we're old and gray and uncapabale
Of any rational jive
I'm gonna bribe the nurses
To pull the plugs that keep them alive
So untie your shoes cause your drowning
From all the pressure and tension that's mounting
Take by fashion and a pretty face
Unaware of the webs that they weave
See first hand the game that they
Throw out like Michael Jordan
Kit, kick the turbo on!
Transformers transform!
(Chorus)
While on a club kid's high
On old folder labeled photography
With naked photos inside
Acting as if it were not happening
Were dead rappers on the television rapping
Feel your head tumble like the London Bridge
Dear tonight they've got you in their antenna
And their tracking
Wonder Twins activate! Megatron rejuvinate!
Go ahead and count me out
All the boys with their headtrip
Calamaties
Scope girls that fall prey to them unwillingly
(Chorus)
Of any rational jive
I'm gonna bribe the nurses
To pull the plugs that keep them alive
So untie your shoes cause your drowning
From all the pressure and tension that's mounting
Unaware of the webs that they weave
See first hand the game that they
Throw out like Michael Jordan
Kit, kick the turbo on!
Transformers transform!
This song seems to me a complaint against guys who haven't got a clue on what women want. They're either to caught up with their cultural references or they're "scheming up a way to get women into bed"
neither of which is really gonna get a girl interested. Of course, it would seem the singer's animosity towards these "men" is based on the fact that it works and he's sick of it.
song's got a nice flow... shame the chorus was left out of the lyrics though ("They're scheming on a way to get you into bed")
