lyrics

Time and time again its like a backing track of hands
Like backhanded, "you were on the radio".
Time and time again I am as modest as I can be
Aint it at the top when you're all alone
I can't let it go, like a parachute
I keep moving on, in a pair of shoes
You can't fill these even if you tried
You want to kill it, get a hobby and a hunting knife
Cause you're not this good.

Papa was a bad man, my momma was a good good girl
Baby now you got me, so now you got the best of both worlds

Damnit I would beg and steal and borrow to put some food on the floor
Let me know if you're cold and you're lonely
And I would let you be the bottle if I could be the note
Let me know if you throw, if you throw me
I can't let it go, like a parachute
I keep moving on, in a pair of shoes
You can't fill these even if you tried
You want to kill it, get a hobby and a hunting knife
Cause you're not this good.

Papa was a bad man, my momma was a good good girl
Baby now you got me, so now you got the best of both worlds
I gave you rock baby, you got soul
Now you've got everything you need to know
Papa was a bad man, my momma was a good girl

The way they follow me
And I ain't doing this alone
It's the way we have to be
And its the way we couldn't say
Cause you're not this good

Papa was a bad man, my momma was a good good girl
Baby now you got me, so now you got the best of both worlds
I gave you rock baby, you got soul
Now you've got everything you need to know
Papa was a bad man, my momma was a good girl

SECRET BAND S/T FULL LENGTH
by Secret Band

Jon Mess is a lyrical beast. His scream is so unique and I'm in love with the fact that this project allows him to explore his voice a bit more (both literally and figuratively [those sing/screams on Honey Boo Buscemi and Meat Fetish are ufff]). Of course Will is the man, I see a different side of Matt (which is good), but i think the real star here is Martin. His heavier insight is truly what makes this album what it is. His riffs are heavy, progressive and oh so smart. Miguel Guzman
