Lyrics
Philosopher My Arse
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.
Your theories, your beliefs
And the way you preach for peace
It sounds like vomit to my ears
Woh, daddy likes to teach
Counts for the muttered words you like to speak
But it sounds like vomit to my ears
Let me fall and kiss your feet
Everybody knows they're cleaner than your lips
I'm not easy to defeat
I know, I know when something's amiss (x3)
Something's amiss
Philosopher my ass
Your words leave your mouth pretty fast
And it sounds like vomit to my ears
I lie in the safety of your bed
Whilst Bob Marley goes straight to your head
How can you compare yourself to this man
Your whole life's a scam
So let me fall and kiss your feet
Everybody knows they're cleaner than your lips
I'm not easy to defeat
I know, I know when something's amiss (x3)
(I think I know when) something's amiss
Don't cheat me, don't you cheat me
Don't you think you can fucking lie to me
Yeah...
Coz I won't fall and kiss your feet
Everybody knows they're cleaner than your lips
I'm not easy to defeat
I know, I know when something's amiss (x3)
Something's amiss (x2)
