"Bully For You" lyrics

Take a name, no you can take a number
Wide awake, but I've been dreaming of a - New World, New God
Take my eyes and black them out like cameras
Take my hands and treat them both like hammers - watch your watchdogs

Bully for you baby girl
Brought into a dying world
Run and tell the aliens
"The earth looks greener when you squint"
If only she was born a son
If only she had...

Below our friends, above are vultures
Bite my tongue 'cause its wet and vulgar - Oh yeah, don't stop
Subtract her voice 'cause she's her mother's daughter
Shaking hands and drinking Arnold Palmers - Except that she's not

Bully for you baby girl
Brought into a dying world
Run and tell the aliens
The earth looks greener when you squint
If only she was born a son
If only we could take a hint

She says "Hold me and tell me what you like about me
You know you really shouldn't tempt me
With all the things you hold against me"
So stay up and watch the riot gear erase us
I'm tripping over all my spilled guts
I'm standing knee-deep in the bad blood

Bully for you baby girl
Brought into a dying world
Run and tell the next of kin
The baby's bedroom's blanket's pink
So She'll politely overcome
And softly sweetly talk some sense
If only Anne could bear a son
Then maybe she'd still have a head

Bully while you're young
Bully while you're young
Bully for the missing girls
