The Aggrolites Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said Hey! (Hey)
Ah
I said Hey! (Hey)
Ah

Alright, do you see that?
Do you hear that?
Oh there goes Mr. Misery
Can you feel him?
I said breathing
Right on down your neck

Do you know him?
Do you hate him?
Cause you know that he don't like you
Can you tell him, you don't like him?
Oh no, cause hell he'll put you through

Here he come, Mr. Misery
To ruin the day
Turn the radio down
Don't be yourself
Cause he don't swing or sway

Nothing good now,
Not at all now
Can come out Mr. Misery's mouth
Only bad things
Like how he hates that
He hates everything
And everything

He's a whirl now
He's so ugly
Black and White
And everything so cold
When he's near you
You can really see
That all the blood in his body
Has sure turn cold

Stay away
Like we know you
Cause all you do
Is you make things worse
With what you put me through

I said Hey! (Hey)
Ah
I said Hey! (Hey)
Ah
I said Hey! (Hey)
Ah
I said Hey! (Hey)
Ah

Here he come, Mr. Misery
Get him out
Away from here
Cause now we doin' my way

Do you hear that?
Do you feel that?
Oh there goes Mr. Misery
Things are good now,
Cause he's gone now,
So, play that music
And lets party

Did he hate you
Yes he did now
Nothing good can come
Out of his whole life
Always bad things
And worse things
Cause he can talk
In time broad daylight

Stay away, Mr. Misery
Like we know you
Cause all you do
Is you make things worse
With what you put me through

I said Hey! (Hey)
Ah
I said Hey! (Hey)
Ah
I said Hey! (Hey)
Ah




I said Hey! (Hey)
Ah
