Bang Bang Bang
Mark Ronson/MNDR/Q-Tip Lyrics

Feathers, I'm plucking feathers
I am removing unwanted things from my life, one by one.

One by one, by one
I am taking things out of my life gradually, in a slow process.

No more skylarking, around my head
I am done with distractions and frivolities that are keeping me from being productive and successful.

Your information but there's no hiding behind moulting feathers
You may try to hide the truth, but it will be exposed and you will be exposed with it.

On the plane, on my brain, 'bout to do the sho'
I am focused and ready to do what needs to be done.

40k contract, take it out the do'
I have a contract worth $40,000 that I am ready to execute.

Dice, symbolize my life, roll 'em on the flo'
My life is like a game of chance and I am willing to take risks.

From your grubby hands, as you hand the grandstand
You are handing me an opportunity with ulterior motives.

You live a shitty life, we live a bon, bon vie
You lead a negative life and we lead a positive one.

Hotter than the book, while we watch the tv
Our lives are more exciting than what we read in books or watch on TV.

Think you got us fooled, ooh never again
You may have fooled us before, but we won't be fooled again.

First time, shame on me, second time, your time will end
I won't be fooled twice; if you try again, there will be consequences.

No way, bang your dead, here's your silhouette
There is no chance for you; you are finished and we can see the outline of your demise.

Je te plumerai la, tete
I will pluck your head (French nursery rhyme about plucking feathers from a bird's head)

Bang your dead, alouette, here's your silhouette
You are finished and we can see the outline of your demise (alouette is French for lark)

No, (the clock) it's ticking forward
Time is moving forward and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

No way, it's just a cruel, cruel world
The world can be cruel and harsh.

Cruel world is fittin', they got us all hittin'
The cruel world is suiting the situation, causing us to experience hardship.

With late night divisions, and lab app decisions
We are dealing with difficult and complex issues that require a lot of thought and effort.

But based with decisions, to fight a fricassee
We are prepared to take action and fight for what we believe in.

And you've clearly decided, on how to handle me
You have made your intentions towards me clear.

Difficile, imbecile, is it fake, is it real
Things are difficult and confusing, and it is hard to know what is true or not.

Are we dying on our feet, are we trying in our sleep
Are we truly living and making an effort to improve, or are we just going through the motions and not making progress?

There's a rumour goin' 'round, 'bout the suits runnin' town
There is talk that the powerful people in town are controlling things behind the scenes.

If you look into the sky, them birds fly high, high, high
If you look up, you can see the freedom and possibility of life.

Numbers, you got that number
You have a specific amount that you are aiming for.

You're looking outwards, and don't see the big picture
You are focused only on your individual goal and are not aware of the larger impact of your actions.

Over your shoulder, you'll get no last words
It will be too late for you to argue or defend yourself; your time has passed.

Because it's too late, you've clipped your own wings (your own wings)
You have limited your own potential and opportunities, and it is too late to change it.

We're never gonna, believe in, the stories, that you're weavin'
We will not be fooled by the lies you are telling.

We're believin' in the proof, we're believin' in the truth
We are focusing on the evidence and facts, rather than empty promises or deceptive claims.

We're believin' in each other, not you, you, you
We are putting our faith and trust in each other, rather than in you.

Stories (you with the tall tales), how many stories (so many tall tales)
You are telling too many lies and tales that are not true.

We climb the structure (you scale the ladder)
We work hard and climb up the ranks, while you are only looking for personal gain and climbing for yourself.

You build it higher (you make us madder)
You are increasing the stakes and making us more angry with your actions.

We take our aim (so now we're bearin' off)
We are taking aim and becoming more direct in our approach.

You perch above your nest (in your charms)
You are comfortable and confident in your position and abilities.

The stories in your head (it's a crazy bald head)
The lies and fantasies you tell yourself are causing you to lose touch with reality.

That's what got you dead
Your deception and delusions led to your downfall.

Un, deux, trois
One, two, three (counting down to action)

No one ever does it like that anymore
This is a unique situation and approach that is not commonly seen or done.

When feathers fly, you deny everything (alouette)
When things get difficult and stressful, you try to deny your responsibility and escape the situation.

Bang, bang, bang (alouette)
Your time is up and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
