Hey y'all
I have some bad news
First piece of bad news is that I'm not Irma Thomas
Second piece
I don't know if you know this
Sexism isn't over
Shocking shocking I know
And that's just one thing on a list of things that I call bullshit
So the good news is
Since we're in this room together in this magical place
We can participate in something
The ancient Greeks called catharsis
Y'all might know of it as group therapy
We're all gonna feel something together
And maybe shed a little bit of the bullshit
So at the end of the song I'm going to call to you
And that's your chance to either sing or scream
And shed that bullshit
And it can be a parking ticket or kids in cages
But we're gonna shed some of it
Bullshit
Y'all ready to learn it?
Some of that bull shit
So y'alls part will be
Bull shit yeah that's bull shit
(Bull shit yeah that's bull shit)
One more
(Bull shit yeah that's bull shit)
Y'all sound like you're hot and tired
But by the end of this song I want the bullshit to come out
Let's hit it go
