Swamp Song

My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee-deep and going in
You're wading knee-deep and going in
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a stupid and belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a dumb and belligerent fucker
I hope it sucks you down
Down, down, down
My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee-deep and going in
And you may never come back again
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a stupid and belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a dumb and belligerent fucker
I hope it sucks you down
My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee-deep and going in
And you may never come back again
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a stupid and belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a dumb and belligerent fucker
I hope it suck
I hope it suck
I hope it sucks you fucker
I hope it suck
I hope it suck
I hope it sucks you down
Wanderin', wanderin'
No one even invited you and you still stumble in
Suffocate, suffocate
Why don't you get away?
Wanderin' around bitchin' when
No one even invited you and you still stumble in
Suffocate, suffocate
Why don't you get out while you can?
No one told you to come
My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee-deep and going in
And you may never come back again
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a stupid and belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a dumb and belligerent fucker
I hope it suck
I hope it suck
I hope it sucks you fucker
I hope it suck
I hope it suck
I hope it sucks you
