Retribution
Fuck U All Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spreading your thoughts and worthless advice.
We used to be friends, but it came to an end,
When you decided you were better than me.
Step down off your fucking cloud!
Take your place in society.
What makes you so fucking proud?
Nothing that you do impresses me.
Retribution, for the ones like you!
Retribution, shattering abuse!
You must think you're something great,
To spread such mindless hate

In the chorus, the singer calls for "retribution for the ones like you" and declares that this is "shattering abuse."
