Watsky - Bad Words lyrics
[Watsky - Bad Words lyrics]
You know, I think it's hella cool
My mom's a librarian at an elementary school
I'm proud of her, she taught me how to be
And what's awesome is my mom
Is also proud of me
Her greatest compliment was paid
When she invited me as speaker
To the whole fourth grade
She wanted me to kick some spread
Your wings and fly shit
Crushing on some inspiring touch the sky shit
What sucks is that before I did
Mom couldn't show my videos to
Any of the kids she realized all my clips
Had alcohol and opiates
And none of them had language that
Was close to age appropriate
So she said, "so be it
Just come be you today, "
And that was cool until we got into the Q&A
They raised their hands but all
The questions that they had
Were why I used so many
Words that were considered bad?
Bad words the shit's pretty complex
But kids, bad words are all about context
What the fuck is a bad word?
I don't know what's real
When you call "fuck" a bad word
How you think that makes "fuck" feel?
Probably pretty bad
The deal is I think it's a real pity
If you use a word to
Make a person feel shitty
Like saying "Arab" to make
A Persian feel shitty
Not like saying "pussy" when you
Mean a real kitty
Or even saying "pussy" when you're
Stuck and you're tryna
Find a loving way to talk
About your wife's vagina
"I'll love my wife until
The fucking world stops
And when it comes to fucking pussy
Dinah's pussy is the tops"
See? That shit's positive
But when you're cursing
Just be careful that you
Don't objectify a person
See, I would tell my mom
That she's the motherfucking shit
Because she is and 'cause it
Fit's our hippy Bay relationship
You see, "shit" just means "poopoo"
Or "caca" or "doodoo, "
But we say that it's a nono
Which I just think is cuckoo
Or loco or bullshit
Yeah, but it's okay because the
Fact that words are bad
Are what make them fun to say
Bad words are just our invention
Kids, bad words are about our intentions
What the fuck is a bad word?
I don't know what's real
When you call "shit" a bad word
How you think that makes "shit" feel?
Probably shitty
My mom's a librarian at an elementary school
I'm proud of her, she taught me how to be
And what's awesome is my mom
Is also proud of me
Her greatest compliment was paid
