Lyrics

Big Brat

It was all his fault Introduced me to know-it-all And the can-ni-bal, oh well By the time they started showing up I ran the risk of blowing These times, these times get tough So if I stay we're going to see who's had enough By the time I needed backing up Yeah, he was watching, cracking up This time, this time it's tough Well here I am and now I think I've had enough Stand back Take that and that and that [Chorus] You're always up to no good Yeah, you're always up to no good Well I was trapped in from all sides Caught in a slew of massive lies No, there is no escape Only flailing arms and bellyaches When it all started coming down tonight Or did you run and hide? Well I guess that we all makes mistakes I guess I forgave you, didn't I? Stand back You're such a big brat! [Chorus:Repeat x2] Oh well By the time you started showing up I ran the risk of blowing up These times, these times get tough So if I stay we're going to see who's had enough By the time I needed backing up Yeah, you was watching, cracking up This time, this time it's tough Well here I am and now I think I've had enough Stand back, stand back, stand back You big brat!
