Bastards
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One, two, three, four, one
I got too many people I got left to prove wrong
All those motherfuckers been too mean for too long
And I'm so sick of crying, yeah
Darling, what's it for?
I could fight forever, oh, but life's too short
Don't let the bastards get you down, oh no
Don't let the assholes wear you out
Don't let the mean girls take the crown
Don't let the scumbags screw you 'round
Don't let the bastards take you down
Been underestimated my entire life
I know people gonna talk shit, and darling, that's fine
But they won't break my spirit, I won't let 'em win
I'll just keep on living, keep on living, oh
The way I wanna live
Don't let the bastards get you down, oh no
Don't let the assholes wear you out
Don't let the mean girls take the crown
Don't let the scumbags screw you 'round
Don't let the bastards take you down
Don't let the bastards get you down, oh no
Don't let the assholes wear you out
Don't let the mean girls take the crown
Don't let the scumbags screw you 'round
Don't let the bastards take you down
Na na na, la da da da da da, na na hey, na na hey
Na na na, la da da da da da, na na hey, na na hey
Na na na, la da da da da da, na na hey, na na hey
Na na na, la da da da da da, na na hey, na na hey
So was that a good one?
Should we go again?
