lyrics

WHO YOU GONNA BULLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT NO BODY
WHO YOU GONNA BULLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT NO BODY
YOU SAY IT'S A JOKE BUT I RECKON IT COMES OFF CRUEL
NO ONE IS GONNA BE LEFT BY THE TIME YOU'RE THROUGH
WHO YOU GONNA BULLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT NO BODY

I BET YOU WERE THAT KID
IN A STEAMY CHANGING ROOM
WITH HIS TOWEL ALL TIGHTLY TWISTED
AND A BITTER ATTITUDE
THROUGH THE MIST YOU COULD SEE YOUR VICTIM
LOOKING LIKE SOME LUMINOUS ARTIFACT
AND THE TOWEL THAT'S BEEN TIGHTLY TWISTED
BURNS LIKE LIGHTNING IN YOUR HAND

WHO YOU GONNA BULLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT NO BODY
WHO YOU GONNA BULLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT NO BODY
YOU SAY IT'S A JOKE BUT I RECKON IT COMES OFF CRUEL
NO ONE IS GONNA BE LEFT BY THE TIME YOU'RE THROUGH
WHO YOU GONNA BULLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT NO BODY

FAST FORWARD A COUPLE OF DECADED
IT DON'T LOOK LIKE MUCH HAS CHANGED
YOU'RE STILL LOOPING YOUR INSECURITIES
AND RINSING EVERYONE ON REPEAT
NOWADAYS YOUR TECHNIQUE IS SUBTLE
IT'S BEEN REFINED OVER TIME
WELL YOU MAY HAVE PUT THE TOWEL DOWN
BUT YOUR RUTHLESSNESS IS JUST A BIT MORE DISCRETE
