It goes off like a proton bomb in the hood
Man'll straight clap boom in your heart for your goods
Good, bad and the ugly the harmony's fucked
And there ain't any trust
So the people's army's corrupt
If you look then you'll see that the armoury's bust
Man bust through armour but they're harming their blood
Then they cuss too hard then the park is a range for the guns
Leave each other facing the mud
All for the papes and the funds
Who told you this rat racing was fun
Power takes over when the taste's on your tongue
And belive me the power trip aches till you're numb
I know it's cliche but think of your mum
And the look on her face when her whole body slumps
When the messenger comes and delivers the news
And she never knew these things about you
You told a lie
You ought to be ashamed
You told a lie
You ought to be ashamed
It goes up when the gyal go down in the ends
And there ain’t no end to the fountain men
Good, bad and fugly no need to pretend
And they’re creeping again stay cheating in between beds
If you're leng there’s never really an exit for them
See ten men running when you’re high with your friends
Then they touch too much then the drug is a
Crutch for the muchness leave you butters as bread
All for a peek of your peng
Who told you that these sheets were the best
Money takes over once you leak from your chest
And believe me the money stays evil at best
I know it’s cliche but think of your man
And the look on his face when his whole body cramps
When the messenger comes and delivers the news
And he never knew these things about you
See there's a war going on
It's popping off round the corner
Blood raining down like confetti
Marriage to the streets like lambs to the slaughter
Got these bad lads and mad daughters
Sad acts and masked torture
Stuffed in a boot and deprived of water
That's what the school system done taught you
Future queens burying princes
The future seems so very inflicted
We're steaming towards it without even thinking
Without even blinking
Just drinking till your wisdom sunk
As butterflies flitter right by
It seems bugs live a more civilised life
I wanna tell the youts everything's gonna be fine
But there's no such thing as a little white lie
No such thing as a little white lie
Wanna tell the youts everything's gonna be fine
But there's no such thing as a little white, little white
You told a lie
(You told me a lie)
You ought to be ashamed
(You ought to be ashamed now)
You told a lie
(I told you a lie or two)
You ought to be ashamed
(Yeah)
You told a lie
(Stop telling all these lies)
You ought to be ashamed
(I ought to be ashamed)
You told a lie
(Told a lie)
You ought to be ashamed
