lyrics

Smack Me Down

Deep in my spleen I knew what they were sayin’
Didn’t trust their lyin’ eyes and and swayin’ hips
Fuck off… fuck off…
Fuck you and you and the best of you
Hear the howls of our screaming wives
Sharpening their fathers’ knives
Fly me away across midnight oceans
Then smack me down smack me down
Smack me far right, far right down

Through the icy rain I didn’t hear you say
I hope to see you again one day
Smack me down smack me down
Smack me far right far right down

The plane flies low into the mountain tall
Exploding in a mega fuckin’ shoppin’ mall
The screamin’ wives keep the home fires burnin’
What you hurlin’?
Don’t come back, you’re a dead-beat dad
Come back now and make us feel sad
And the kids drop their buckets and spade
And wade into the ocean

Gimmee some Bollinger and a dozen oysters
Drownin’ out the sound of the children’s voices
Cut the engine over the mid Atlantic ocean
Then smack me down smack me down smack me far right down
Smack me down smack me down smack me far right down
Smack me down far right, far right down
