Backyard Bastards Lyrics by WARGASM

A Year of War

2020

[Chorus: Milkie Way]
Let's play ring around the casket
Backyard full of bastards
Glitter on her hatchet and she's going on a man hunt
Sipping on some rich blood
Taking back the power, uh
Now, now, now

[Verse 1: Sam Matlock, Milkie Way]
When you wake up do you feel hollow?
Do you wash your hands of all the sorrow?
Do you block it all out for the quiet life
Clinging to a blunt knife, no fight
Out of mind, out of sight

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Matlock, Milkie Way]
Are you tired of living for these bastards?
I'll teach you how to kill a god
And have no masters
Oh the feelings fight the feelings but this feeling's too strong
I wanna kill somebody but I know it's wrong, hey!
Wanna kill, wanna kill
Wanna kill, wanna kill, wanna kill somebody
Wanna kill, wanna kill
Wanna kill, wanna kill, wanna kill somebody
I wanna kill somebody but I know it's wrong
I wanna kill somebody

[Chorus: Milkie Way, Sam Matlock]
Let's play ring around the casket
Backyard full of bastards
Glitter on her hatchet and she's going on a man hunt
Sipping on some rich blood
Taking back the power, uh
Now, now, now
Lеt's play ring around the casket
Backyard full of bastards
Glitter on hеr hatchet and she's going on a man hunt
Sipping on some rich blood
Taking back the power, uh
Now, now, now
Uh, uh

[Verse 3: Milkie Way, Sam Matlock]
Do you wanna come over and get bloody?
'Cause I'm out here like Jennifer's Body
I'm swinging steel like The Bride
Like Mallory making them hide
I'm sick and sweet like Mathilda
I'm fucking La Femme Nikita

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Matlock, Milkie Way]
I've been sleeping with a pillow under my gun
And when it goes off we're gonna have fun
Oh the feelings fight the feelings but this feeling's too strong
I wanna kill somebody but I know it's wrong, hey!
I wanna kill somebody but I know it's wrong
I wanna kill somebody (Ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)

[Chorus: Milkie Way, Sam Matlock]
Let's play ring around the casket
Backyard full of bastards
Glitter on her hatchet and she's going on a man hunt
Sipping on some rich blood
Taking back the power, uh
Now, now, now
Let's play ring around the casket
Backyard full of bastards
Glitter on her hatchet and she's going on a man hunt
Sipping on some rich blood
Taking back the power, uh
Now, now, now

[Bridge: Milkie Way & Sam Matlock]
We tried to tell you there's too much friction
We tried to tell you, you didn't listen
Peace was never an option, it was never an option
It was never an option, it was never (What do we say?)
Peace (Hey!) was never (Hey!) an option (Hey!), it was never (Hey!) an option (Hey!)
It was never (Hey!) an option (Hey!), it was never (Hey!) (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Peace (Hey!) was never (Hey!) an option (Hey!), it was never (Hey!) an option (Hey!)
It was never (Hey!) an option, it was- Let's go
Peace was never an option, it was never an option
It was never an option, it was never

[Breakdown: Sam Matlock & Milkie Way]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Wanna kill, wanna kill
Wanna kill, wanna kill, wanna kill somebody
Wanna kill, wanna kill
Wanna kill, wanna kill, wanna kill somebody
Wanna kill, wanna kill
Wanna kill, wanna kill, wanna kill somebody
Wanna kill, wanna kill
Let's go

[Chorus: Milkie Way & Sam Matlock]
Let's play ring around the casket
Backyard full of bastards
Glitter on her hatchet and she's going on a man hunt
Sipping on some rich blood
Taking back the power, uh
Now, now, now
Let's play ring around the casket
Backyard full of bastards
Glitter on her hatchet and she's going on a man hunt
Sipping on some rich blood
Taking back the power, uh
Now, now, now
Now, now, now
Now, now, now
