Don't Call Me Nuts
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some people just sit around
Till they weigh 500 pounds
I've get a serious job
I can't take one day off

I never had the idea
To spread chaos and fear
I'm much to busy for that
I got no time to get mad

Maybe life is boring
In some corners of the world
So come on, spice up your life
Rip up your neighbours with a knife

Don't call me nuts, don't call me crazy
I've got a little bit of skanking to do
I'm not to blame if you're to lazy
If you won't do it, i won't do it for you

Don't call me nuts, don't call me crazy
I've got a little bit of skanking to do
I'm not to blame if you're to lazy
If you won't do it, i won't do it for you

Some people stand on the street
Till someone tells them some shit
I've got no time to listen
If mr. big shit appears, i'll be missin'

And if you ask me to say:
"please, stay out of my way"
With the sick ideas that result
Of fantasies, you can't call adult

Maybe life is boring
In some corners of the world
So come on, spice up your life
Rip up your neighbours with a knife

Don't call me nuts, don't call me crazy
I've got a little bit of skanking to do
I'm not to blame if you're to lazy
If you won't do it, i won't do it for you

Don't call me nuts, don't call me crazy
I've got a little bit of skanking to do
I'm not to blame if you're to lazy
If you won't do it, i won't do it for you

My definition of humour
Is not to spread any rumours
Until people get mad
You say: i never meant that

Some people call me a fool
I don't get upset, i stay cool
I'm not much into tanks
I ride my scooter and skank

Maybe life is boring
In some corners of the world
So come on, spice up your life
Rip up your neighbours with a knife

Don't call me nuts, don't call me crazy
I've got a little bit of skanking to do
I'm not to blame if you're to lazy
If you won't do it, i won't do it for you

Don't call me nuts, don't call me crazy
I've got a little bit of skanking to do
I'm not to blame if you're to lazy
If you won't do it, i won't do it for you

Don't call me nuts, don't call me crazy
I've got a little bit of skanking to do
I'm not to blame if you're to lazy
If you won't do it, i won't do it for you

Don't call me nuts, don't call me crazy
I've got a little bit of skanking to do




I'm not to blame if you're to lazy
If you won't do it, i won't do it for you
