"Humpback Whale" lyrics
Another see-you-next-Tuesday on the cavalcade
Pulling out the pin from a hand grenade
Sucking off the billionaire bunker boys
He don't make a lot of sense, but he makes a lot of noise
I thought I knew his face, but I could not tell
But looking back now I remember it well
Standing in the schoolyard shouting, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
When the teacher came running, he was straight out of sight
And there I was thinking that we could not miss
There's a tear in my eye as I reminisce
And I couldn't be sure
And you're hardly mature
What are you laughing for?
Why do you?
Why do you find it so funny
When they're laughing at you, counting all their money
And you're fighting all their battles, getting bloody?
Why do you? Why do you?
When I was a child I thought childish things
But I put all that away and all that that brings
And finally I feel I'm coming out of my shell
'Cause now I am a man and I'm feeling like hell
And there I was thinking that we could not fail
We'd be living in a future talking humpback whale
And the harder they come, then the harder they fall
Work smart enough, hard enough, everything's cool
There I was thinking that we could not miss
But now I realise you were taking the piss
And it's not like before
And you're hardly mature
What are you laughing for?
Why do you?
Why do you find it so funny
When they're laughing at you, counting all their money
And you're fighting all their battles, getting bloody?
Why do you? Why do you?
Why do you?
Why do you find it so funny?
Don't you feel a little bit grubby?
Why d'you find it all so funny?
Why do you? Why do you?
Joe Smooth took me to the promised land
He took me by the hand
And Sterling Void says, "It's gonna be alright."
Well, I still remember
You in your splendour
Now you're calling my name
What are you laughing for?
Why do you?
Why do you find it so funny
When they're laughing at you, counting all their money
And you're fighting all their battles, getting bloody?
Why do you? Why do you?
Why do you?
Why do you find it so funny
Burning down the land of milk and honey?
Why d'you find it all so funny?
Why do you? Why do you?
Why do you, why do you, why do you
Why do you find it so funny?
Why do you find it so funny?
Don't you feel a little bit grubby?
Tell me, why do you
Why d'you find it all so funny?
Tell me, why do you
Why do you?
Pulling out the pin from a hand grenade
Sucking off the billionaire bunker boys
He don't make a lot of sense, but he makes a lot of noise
I thought I knew his face, but I could not tell
But looking back now I remember it well
Standing in the schoolyard shouting, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
When the teacher came running, he was straight out of sight
And there I was thinking that we could not miss
There's a tear in my eye as I reminisce
And I couldn't be sure
And you're hardly mature
What are you laughing for?
Why do you?
Why do you find it so funny
When they're laughing at you, counting all their money
And you're fighting all their battles, getting bloody?
Why do you? Why do you?
When I was a child I thought childish things
But I put all that away and all that that brings
And finally I feel I'm coming out of my shell
'Cause now I am a man and I'm feeling like hell

Why do you? Why do you?
Why do you, why do you, why do you
Why do you find it so funny?
Why do you find it so funny?
Don't you feel a little bit grubby?
Tell me, why do you
Why d'you find it all so funny?
Tell me, why do you
Why do you?
