One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces Lyrics

September '75 I was 47 inches high
Mom said by Christmas I would have
A bad ass mother G.I. Joe
For your little minds to blow
I still got beat up after class
Yeah

Now I'm big and important
One angry dwarf and
200 solemn faces are you
If you really want to see me
Check the papers and the T.V.
Look who's tellin' who what to do
Kiss my ass
Good-bye

Don't give me that bullshit
You know who I am
I'm your nightmare little man
Vic you stole my lunch money
Made me cry

Jane remember second grade
Said you couldn't stand my face
Rather than kiss me you said
You'd rather die

Now I'm big and important
One angry dwarf and
200 solemn faces are you
If you really want to see me
Check the papers and the T.V.
Look who's tellin' who what to do
Kiss my ass
Good-bye

You'll be sorry one day
Yes you will, yes you will
You shouldn't push me around
Cause I will, yes I will
You will be sorry when I'm big
Yes you will, yes you will
You will be sorry

Now I'm big and important
One angry dwarf and
200 solemn faces are you
If you really want to see me
Check the papers and the T.V.
Look who's tellin' who what to do
Kiss my ass

(Kiss my ass, kiss my ass, goodbye now
Kiss my ass, kiss my ass, goodbye now
???
Kiss my ass, kiss my ass, goodbye now
Kiss my ass, kiss my ass, goodbye now
You should be paying me, Vic
September '75, I was 47 inches high
September '75, September '75)

I LOVE this song..

Basically, this is totally how I feel when I see any of the people with whom I attended high school and find out that my life is better than theirs by leaps and bounds. In the back of my mind I'm thinking "Kiss my ass... Goodbye..."

The best revenge is a life well lived. :)

My Interpretation

Actually, the best revenge is forgiveness. How much better are you really if you take pleasure in the misfortune of those who have wronged you?

@mimsymimi Well said, vinay. This mimsymimi guy obviously hasn't lived his life as well as he thinks if he has that sort of petty, destructive, hostile, pathetic, toxic mindset.

I love this one. What an anthem for the nerdy, bullied kids in school. Stick it to 'em, Ben!

this song is my boost whenever i need a pick up and a reason to rember that i'm still on my feet, in school and living a damn good life over every other ass that pushed me down my whole life. The guy who threw rocks at me in highschool for not being "cool enough" is in jail for killing a man... and i dedicate this song to him every day! kiss your own ass f*&^er life comes back and bites you in the ass.

rena good on yu man! :D, oh and i dont really like this band much.. But i fucking think this song is wicked

This is a song about someone (I don't want to assume it's Ben) that shows that he still doesn't accept himself as being worthy because he is still dwelling on the past and using his external fortune (fame, money, celebrity) to prove that he is now worthy when it shouldn't really matter...but then again, as a poor kid who grew up around middle-class racists who did horrible things to me, my things, my house, and my family now with a BA and living abroad while those same losers work as grocery store cashiers and fast food restaurant managers and some of them already divorced by the time they were 22 with kids to boot, I can totally see where Ben is coming from (and plus I was little for my age growing up). No matter how down I get, I know that it would take a whole lot more crap to sink to the level of my former bullies. I am one angry 5'7" geek :-)

At Bens show at Enmore theatre, Syndey, He explained that this song was not about himself growing up, but somebody else that he once made fun of.

Great song, definatley an anthem for the little guy
