Lyrics

Wind Up Merchant

Do I look good in this dress?
I'll pause and not say yes
And then followed up by a "uhhhhhh I guess"
Pissing people off is the way I express

Oh my god, he's such a
Hilarious joker
He'll make fun of ya
Cause his own life is mediocre

If it feels better then let it all out
I'll twist your arm, I'll pull your leg until you scream and shout
I'm a wind up, wind up, merchant
Wind up, wind up, wind up, merchant

Give it some welly
Ealy in your twenties
Ready steady
Have you already
Gone and found yet a pretty girl to marry

This worlds gone crazy
This generation are lazy
We should stick em in the navy
Back in my day it was mash and gravy

Yes we are aware
That soon enough
We'll all be square
So loosen up

Please uncle Sam
I've had enough
Of your backward views
That make you feel so tough

If it feels better then let it all out
I'll twist your arm, I'll pull your leg until you scream and shout
I'm a wind up, wind up, wind up merchant
Wind up, wind up, wind up, merchant

If it feels better then let it all out
I'll twist your arm, I'll pull your leg until you scream and shout
I'm a wind up, wind up merchant
Wind up, wind up, wind up, merchant

Narcissistic views under your skin
Try to take it off but they win
It's in your blood
And it's in your guts
And it's all wound up
And it will corrupt

Woo!
If it feels better then let it all out
I'll twist your arm, I'll pull your leg until you scream and shout
I'm a wind up, wind up, wind up merchant
Wind up, wind up, wind up, merchant
