Bully Lyrics by John Butler Trio

Bully - Single

2017

[Verse: John Butler]
When I was just a little kid
'Bout 3 foot from the ground
Papa told me 'bout the bully boy
How they wanna mess you around
And how they push and they push
And they take and they take
Until there's nothin' more
Got you back up against the wall
Guess it's time to settle the score
[Pre-Chorus: John Butler]
Let me tell ya, yeah they want your mind
Y'know they wanna take full control (Don't you think about it)
Then they wanna come and take your land
They don't understand it's your soul (Don't you think about it)
And as matter of fact we're in the middle of war between love and hate (Don't you think about it)
When you see them comin' on the rise
Best you better lock that gate cause y'know
[Chorus: John Butler & Kira Puru]
Bully, Bully, Bully, Bully
Nothing but a god damn
Bully, Bully, Bully, Bully
[Verse: John Butler]
Pirates roll into town
With the troops fly in, fly out
Got no connection to country
Don't know what the fuck it's about
And you can hit them over the head with the facts
You know it don't make a goddamn dent
And everybody movin' out of town cause they can't afford the rent
[Pre-Chorus: John Butler & Kira Puru]
Let me tell ya, yeah they want your mind
Y'know they wanna take full control (Don't you think about it)
Then they wanna come and take your land
They don't understand it's your soul (Don't you think about it)
And as matter of fact we're in the middle of war between love and hate (Don't you think about it)
When you see them comin' on the rise
Best you better lock that gate
[Chorus: John Butler & Kira Puru]
Bully, Bully, Bully, Bully
Nothing but a god damn
Bully, Bully, Bully, Bully
Nothing but a god damn
Bully, Bully, Bully, Bully
Nothing but a god damn
Bully, Bully, Bully, Bully
[Bridge: John Butler & Kira Puru]
The harder we become
The harder we fall
Watch how the cards
Come crumbling down
We can't go on
Conquer and divide
We must stay strong on solid ground
The harder we become
The harder we fall
Watch how the cards
Come crumbling down
We can't go on
Conquer and divide
We must stay strong on solid ground
[Chorus: John Butler & Kira Puru]
Bully, Bully, Bully, Bully
Nothing but a god damn
Bully, Bully, Bully, Bully
Nothing but a god damn
Bully, Bully, Bully, Bully
Nothing but a god damn
Bully, Bully, Bully, Bully
[Outro: Kira Puru]
You ain't nothin' but
A bully boy
You ain't nothin' but
A bully boy
You ain't nothin' but
A bully boy
You ain't nothin' but
A bully boy
You ain't nothin' but
A bully boy
You ain't nothin' but
A bully boy
You ain't nothin' but
A bully boy
You ain't nothin' but
A bully boy
