Babybird - Bad Old Man Lyrics

He had a bad old man who beat him
Took a hammer to his knees just to please him
Now he's 35, and half alive
He's an open mouth in a bee hive

He's gonna smile and be happy
Make everyone know that he's happy
Put his smiling face on a billboard
Kiss him from your car, he's happy
He's not happy

With his swollen lips round his early teens
In his dress he can't believe it's in his genes
Some days he's half man, then he's half God
But on his good days he wouldn't touch his greens

He's gonna make you smile and be happy
Make everyone know that he's happy
Put his smiling face on the TV
Kiss him from your chair, make him happy

He drowned his stepson in the duck pond
Let the wife-beater out to make a pop song
He put razor blades in the ice cream
Shot a pedophile in a wet dream

He's got a young man who feeds him
Whispers sweet nothings just to please him
He makes him cool for the TV
Makes half the man he is a celebrity

With his swollen lips around his early teens
In his dress he can't believe it's in his genes
He's half a man, and half a god
One half bitch, one half dog

He drowned his stepson in the duck pond
Let the wife-beater out to make a pop song
Put razor blades in the ice cream
Made nobody famous on the big screen

Put the whole wide world on remote control
He put a 5 times rapist on his TV show
On every single channel in every single home
You can even hear his voice on the telephone
