Lyrics

Bug

[Verse 1]

Hurry up quick

Don’t catch it

Spreading all around

Outbreaking

Infecting our lives, incubating

Virus multiply

Replicating

[Verse 2]

Everybody feels the aching

Population is sick and shaking

Can’t think straight

Minds breaking

And the world is burning up, can’t take it

(Hey Bug)

[Chorus]

Bug come took away

Took all our privilege

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

Bug no good today

Took all our privilege

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

Bug stop took away

No more, no good today

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

Bug come took away

Took all our privilege

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

[Verse 3]

Everybody feels outbreaking

Reacting to the lie

Epidemic

Feels so cold

Hearts racing

Running in our blood

Contagious

(Hey Bug)

[Chorus]

Bug come took away

Took all our privilege

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

Bug come took away

Took all our privilege

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

Bug stop took away

No more, no good today

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

Bug stop took away

Took all our privilege

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

[Break/Chorus]

Bug come took away

Took all our privilege

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

Bug come took away

Took all our privilege

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

Bug stop took away

No more no good today

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

Bug stop took away

Took all our privilege

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

[Chorus]

Bug come took away

Took all our privilege

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

Bug come took away

Took all our privilege

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

Bug stop took away

No more, no good today

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

Bug stop took away

Took all our privilege

Nah nah no more (Eh)

Nah nah no more

[Outro]

Bug stop took away

No more, no good today
