“Bang Bang Bang”
Un deux trois
Bang bang bang
MNDR:
Feathers
I’m plucking feathers
One by one by one
No more skylarking
Around my head
You’re in formation
But there’s no hiding
By moulting feathers
Q-Tip:
On the plane, on my brain, ’bout to do the sho’
40k contract, take it out the do’
Dice, symbolize my life, roll ’em on the flo’
From your grubby hands, as you hand the grand stand
You live a shitty life, we live a bon, bon vie
Hotter than the book, while we watch the tv
Think you got us fooled, who? never again
First time, shame on me, second time, your time will end
No way
Bang your de-ead
Paint your silhouette
Je te plumerai la tete
Je te plumerai la tete
On no, oh no, oh no
Bang your de-ead
Alouette
Paint your silhouette
Je te plumerai la tete
Je te plumerai la tete
On no, oh no, oh no
No way, no
The clock is ticking forward
No way
It’s just a cruel, cruel world
Q-tip:
Cruel world is fittin’, they got us all hittin’
With late night divisions, and lab app decisions
But based with decisions, to fight a fricassée
And you’ve clearly decided, on how to handle me
Difficile, immbocile, is it fake, is it real
Are we dying on our feet, are we trying in our sleep
There’s a rumour goin’ ’round, ’bout the suits runnin’ town
If you look into the sky, them birds fly high, high, high
MNDR:
Numbers, you fly by numbers
You’re logging hours hours, and don’t see the big picture
Over your shoulder, you’ll get no last words
Because it’s too late, you’ve clipped your own wings (your own wings)
No way
Bang your de-ead
Paint your silhouette
Je te plumerai la tete
Je te plumerai la tete
On no, oh no, oh no
Bang your de-ead
Alouette
Paint your silhouette
Je te plumerai la tete
Je te plumerai la tete
On no, oh no, oh no
We’re never gonna, believe in, the stories, that you’re weavin’
We’re never gonna, believe in, the stories, that you’re weavin’
We’re never gonna, believe in, the stories, that you’re weavin’
We’re believin’ in the proof, we’re believin’ in the truth
We’re believin’ in each other, not you, you, you
Stories (you with the tall tales), how many stories (so many tall tales)
We climb the structure (you scale the ladder)
You build it higher (you make us madder)
We take our aim (so now we’re bearin’ off)
You perch above your nest ( gotcha in your charms)
The stories in your head (it’s a crazy _______)
That’s what got you dead
No way, no
The clock is ticking forward (as the time just ticks away)
No way
It’s just a cruel, cruel world (cruel, cruel world)
No way
Bang your de-ead
Paint your silhouette
Je te plumerai la tete
Je te plumerai la tete
On no, oh no, oh no
Bang your de-ead
Alouette
Paint your silhouette
Je te plumerai la tete
Je te plumerai la tete
On no, oh no, oh no
Un, deux, trois
No one ever does it like that anymore
Bang, bang, bang
When feathers fly you deny everything (alouette)
Un, deux, trois
No one ever does it like that anymore
Bang, bang, bang (alouette)
When feathers fly you deny everything, yeah
Oh no, oh no, oh no
