Cover art for Bully's Lament lyrics by Shakey Graves

All people are bullies. But Alejandro is not so much accusing as he is embracing. People don't carry all of the hurtful things they say with them. They go home and examine what was said at the end of the day. Life is too busy to consider another person's feelings in the bustle. People examine their interactions after the fact. They take them out and view them in a magnifying glass.

But not us----we're not like the others. It's such a love song. We absolve ourselves of wrong doing. You don't say hurtful things. You have no frailties. We are the only perfect ones.----It is so beautiful and self-aware.
