Outstanding Assholes
DS-13 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You decide to play
But when the day comes
You bitch about your pay
Bad ass attitude
No love for those who died
All you want tonight
Fake ass motherfukkers
BURN!
But all cash was for animal rights
And this is what you were saying
Let's smash some animals on our way home
And you left without playing this show
The lyrics to DS-13's song "Outstanding Assholes" depict a scathing critique of individuals who feign concern for animal rights in order to appear altruistic, while simultaneously betraying their supposed beliefs through their selfish actions. The lyrics convey a sense of betrayal and anger towards those who are more concerned with their own financial gain and ego gratification than they are with the welfare of animals. The artist draws attention to the hypocrisy of those who claim to stand for animal rights, but then engage in practices that are oppositional to these same beliefs.
A notable aspect of the song is the explicit use of vulgar language, which serves to increase the intensity of the message the artist is trying to convey. The use of profanity also reinforces the sense of anger and frustration that is apparent in the lyrics. The song deploys a simple and straightforward musical structure, with aggressive instrumentals that powerfully convey the fury and intensity of the lyrics.

Benefit for animals
We're performing for a good cause
You decide to play
We chose to participate
But when the day comes
When the event finally happens
You bitch about your pay
You complain about the compensation
Bad ass attitude
We have a tough demeanor
No love for those who died
We don't show sympathy for the deceased
All you want tonight
Your only goal tonight
Is dough for your girlfriends ride
Is money to fund your girlfriend's expenses
Fake ass motherfukkers
You're not true to yourself
BURN!
Our anger and frustration towards you
But all cash was for animal rights
The money was intended for animal welfare
And this is what you were saying
This is the message you conveyed
Let's smash some animals on our way home
Let's harm animals on our journey back
And you left without playing this show
You didn't perform in the event
