Something I Said
(in collaboration with Tim Swallow)

So you say it’s something I said
Ooh, I like that
Clean hands, still knocking them dead
Like a psyche, that
Put a bell to ring in their heads
A wrong to right, that
Then it’s just like a pa sicks his pets
Now go and bite that

So you say it’s something I said
Can you believe that
Oldest trick in a book barely read
Then you can thieve that
After all the blood that’s been bled
Still still still I repeat that 
And you’ll beat each other instead
Ah rata-tat-tat 


Yeh sure I want you, yeh sure I need you
Heh just to flaunt you, heh just to bleed you 
Yeh sure I love you, I sure do value
How some things I said rile you and
Shall we say, inspire you 


So you say it’s someone I told
Let’s see you do that
Well you can’t be just any old
Only a few that  
When you’re starving fat looks like gold, so I been told
Then you can fool that
Desperation breaks every mold
Then you get bold and rule that



So you say it’s something I said
But can you prove it?
I can’t help where my followers led
Or if they’re stupid
Free speech must be unlimited
Well, for the cool kids
So you say it’s something I said
You never knew or forget – are you getting it yet?

Sure I want you, yeh sure I need you
Heh just to flaunt you, heh just to bleed you 
Yeh sure I love you, I sure do value
How some things I said rile you and
Shall we say, inspire you

Yeh sure I want you, yeh sure I need you
Heh just to flaunt you, heh just to bleed you 
Yeh sure I love you, I sure do value
How some things I said rile you and
Shall we say, inspire you

So you say it’s something I said
Ooh, I like that
(So you say it’s something I said
Ooh, I like that)
So you say it’s something I said
Ooh, I like that
(So you say it’s something I said
Ooh, I like that)
So you say it’s something I said
Ooh, I like that
(So you say it’s something I said
Ooh, I like that)
