Lyrics     Get You Down
Nanno Nijman	 Jan 2024

You‘re always very angry,  but never sad
Smart and divine,  the others are mad
Do you really think,  you are so strong?
Nobody likes you,  so what went wrong? 

Knowing every weak point, all the time  
Any dirt you can find,  to get them in line
Give them nicknames, now you can play
Humiliating them,  so they obey

You know how to aim,  your devilish charm
Mean jokes,   to do maximum harm
Much too terrified,   to pay the price
They will believe,  your pathetic lies

You damn well know,  you’re the one to blame!    
Are you done, with your game?
Bullying     around, ‘round, ‘round …    (2x)

Got to get you down      (4x)

Was it all too easy?  Mothers spoiled child 
Did dad leave you,  alone in the wild? 
You never lose,  but always find new lows
Keep on denying,  to friends and foes

I damn well know,  you’re really lonely!
By fighting enemies,  in your mind only
Your fragile ego, thinks you’re so clever
But you can’t,  bully forever …
  
We got to get you down      (5x)

Lyrics:

Saw you on the side of the road
I could see you were walking slow, drinking a Slurpee
In a peach baseball cap, falling in my lap
You were so thirsty

Could you love me instead of all the boyfriends you get?
Know I’d make you forget about all of those rich fuckboys

Kiss it off me,
If you’re gonna break my heart this is a good start
Kiss it off me

You always bite your lip when you’re feeling it, as we move slowly
& your peach baseball cap is tossed under the rack of clothes & your jewelry

& you beg for it in the morning again before you go to the gym
Said it’s a bad habit you just can’t quit…

Kiss It Off Me
