lyrics

I don’t like men in uniform
I don’t like men in uniform
Maybe I was used
Maybe I was abused
By someone in a pointed hat

I just want somewhere to be warm
I’ve had enough of fighting wars
I’ve bitten more people
Than you could shake a stick at
I guess I’m still proud of that

When I was a youth I messed around
I had the meanest rep in the whole town
When I saw a mortal enemy
I would feel the rage inside me
I would stare him into silence
I would bring my sharp incisors
Down

It felt good to me
But now I concede
It was not ideal
But I still

Don’t like men in uniform
I don’t like men in uniform
Maybe I was hit
Beaten with a stick
By someone in a pointed hat

I was found in a paper sack
I was the gift that was given back
I try to overcome it
But I just cannot stomach
The cruelty of that

When I was a youth I messed around
I had the meanest rep in the whole town
When I saw a mortal enemy
I would feel the rage inside me
I would stare him into silence
I would bring my sharp incisors
Down

It felt good to me
But now I concede
it was not ideal
But I still feel
But I still feel…

This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly. zq9mare1
