The Bastard Lyrics by Alex Ebert

In Support of 5ame Dude Vol. 3

2018

[Intro]
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do

[Verse 1]
Shut your mouth
I love you still
The keys are off
The window sill
Stop, don't talk
My mouth, don't talk

[Verse 2]
I touch your skin
I love the smell
My mom, I want
To go to Hell
Stop, don't talk
My mouth, don't talk

[Refrain]
I just don't want-
Want to be a loved child
I wanna be there, be there
For your love
And this want is just to love child
I wanna be there, be there
For your love
For your love

[Post-Refrain]
I said you're nothing
But a thing
To the song of love
You sing
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do

[Verse 3]
Mutilated dirty works
Sitting in a cable
Tripping on a bag pipe
Watering for what?
(Stop don't talk)
Don't love, don't talk

[Verse 4]
Paper clip the nano clip
You're up when you're older
Ball point, hallow tip
Keep you're eyes to brown
(Stop don't talk)
Don't drag the rock

[Refrain]
I just don't want-
Want to be a loved child
I wanna be there, be there
For your love
And this want is just to love child
I wanna be there, be there
For your love
For your love

[Post-Refrain]
I said you're nothing
But a thing
To the song of love
You sing
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
