lyrics

You probably think "I got this down"
That was before I got to town
You’ll see
You just went up against the thief

Let’s get it straight
Let’s hit rewind
You’re not that smart
But simple minds can still read
And now you’re up against me

I am the one
I am the son
Transition

I’m number one
A loaded gun
Already won

It’s not too late to sit one out
Nobody knew you’d draw this bout
No deceit
And not a chance you will succeed

I’ll help you out
I’ll turn my back
You walk away
I don’t attack
You don’t keel
Man I am offering you a deal

I am the one
I am the son
Transition

(the ambition of submission)

I’m number one
A megaton
Let’s get it done

Wait a minute
I know exactly how you feel
You’re probably thinking
Jesus christ can this be really real?
And I say well, does it matter
If I’m already inside your head?
I mean once you allow a breach like that
My dear, you are completely dead
Unless you play along
Maybe every day get a little strong
Who knows?
Maybe I’ll back off
But haha, no no, ahem, cough cough
This is the truth and I’ll tell you why
Remember when you had no interest
In how I would cope with all the bombs you dropped?
And honey, they took forever to stop
I had to build a solid defense
With shrapnel pummeling every sense
I had to wait
To bide my time
Until you got distracted by some other war
Some other front
And then to be honest
Then to be blunt
That’s when I saw I was bigger
Way bigger than we gave me credit for
When I stood up straight—all the vigor—
I had to duck my head to fit out the door
And then I could see over houses
And then I could see for miles
And then I could see that your waterworks
Well, they looked a little like crocodiles
And then I could see how to love you
Even if I didn’t let you back
And then I could see how to hold you
And still hold off the next wave of attacks
Because I was there, it was me
It wasn’t just us, it was me
And I needed that to see
And I needed that to see
And I needed that to see
And thank you for beating that shit right out of me

In this corner: me

Tiny Bit of Giant's Blood Chicago, Illinois

Daily life is a struggle. Tiny Bit of Giant’s Blood is the new glam punk heavy rock product from Tony Rogers & John Scholvin of The Good. It’s also a lion on stimulants, a velvet jumper two sizes too small, a goblet of mysterious dark liquid that promises a night you will never forget. It features the pulsating rhythms of Jackie Schimmel & Larry Beers, and it may leave you gasping for breath. ... more
