Posse Bonus Lyrics

This is your posse bonus
This is your extra
This is your posse bonus
Because I like you

This is your posse bonus
This is your extra
This is your posse bonus

'cause I like you

Because I like you
'cause I like you
porcupine
burrow your way
to freedom

This is your posse bonus
This is your extra
This is your posse bonus
'cause I like you

Eat your greens
Feed your head
Mind the doubts
they harvest them
Broccoli
Feed your head
Their ideas
are fried in fat

This is your posse bonus
This is your extra
This is your posse bonus
'cause I like you

Because I like you
'cause I like you
porcupine
burrow your way
to freedom

You say that "you're not bothered
to lie beneath pigs
then go on Laura
here's a flower for your grave"

This is your posse bonus
This is your extra
This is your posse bonus
'cause I like you
I like you
I like you.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

She has talked a lot in interviews regarding the release of ADP about the idea that the right wing in America today is using the people and how the establishment feeds people false ideas, and that the best way to combat that is to have your own belief system and alternative values strongly defined.

This song is light and playful and seems innocuous, but it's really the defining meaning of the whole ADP album in one song - it's the posse's message - burrow your way to freedom through the BS that is being fed us through the media and politics, feed your head (be smart, find out the truth for yourself, inform yourself), "mind your doubts, they harvst them" - this means to be careful because right wing fanatics will literally harvest your doubts in order to plant hate or fear in your mind, playing on your doubts.

I also think the blatant reference to Laura is amusing.
