Bad Old Man - Babybird, Stephen Jones, Luke Scott

He had a bad old man who beat him

Took a hammer to his knees just to please him

Now he’s thirty-five and half-alive

He’s an open mouth in a beehive

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 around his early teens

In his dress he can’t believe it’s in his genes

Some days he’s half-man, and then he’s half-God

But on his blue 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 duckpond

Let the wifebeater out to make a pop song

He put razor blades in the ice cream

Shot a paedophile in a wet dream

Mmm

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 duckpond

Let the wifebeater out to make a pop song

He 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 five times rapist on his TV show

On every single channel in every single home

You can even hear his voice on the telephone

Mmm
