Slaughter Me, Baby Lyrics

(G. Liszt)

Wake up.

You�ve got to wake up and work!

You�ve got to wake up and work,
But I mean that sucks,
What about love,
Why green back bucks?
I know you need them,
But if you�re lonely, bored,
Give it up and come with me,
Freedom is its own reward.

I�m on a mission demeaning,
I�m on a mission demanding,
Living a dream, a lie,
Living a misunderstanding,
You maybe kind,
You maybe the finest,
I�ll stay behind,
If you�ll slay me your highness.

Slaughter me baby,
Be good and be bad,
Whenever what ought to be
Just couldn�t be had,
Slaughter me,
Just slaughter me please,
Take my body,
Scatter it on the watery seas.

She was wise and fine,
She had eyes that shine,
I quipped quick
And I blinded her with lies that rhyme,
Then by the time I woke up she�d gone away,
At least it lasted till the dawn of day,
Every time I die I�m reborn in rapture,
I�ve still got my banjo on the morning after.

Slaughter me baby,
Be good and be bad,
Whenever what ought to be,
Just couldn�t be had,
Slaughter me,
Just slaughter me please,
Take my body,
Scatter it on the watery seas.

I promise someday you�re going to find me gone,
I count every second until it�s finally dawn,
My love to love�s like a drought to weather,
I�d go but if I do go,
I�ll be out forever.

You got to wake up and work.

Slaughter me baby,
Be good and be bad,
Whenever what ought to be,
Just couldn�t be had,
Slaughter me please,
Take my body,
Scatter it on the watery seas.

Freedom is its own reward.
