lyrics

You do all the work for us honey badger
While you sustain our lives we'll just sit back
Dig it out
Chase it down for us as we gather
Then we'll swoop in and pick up all the scraps
And we'll wait around for you to feed us
You've never let us down that we recall
We would thank and praise you but we're just unthinking animals
Dumb brutes and beasts of instinct
That is all
So come and take what you want honey badger
We can't keep you from your heart's desire
Though we may bite and sting you by the thousands
You just don't give a shit if we expire
And we'll wait around for you to notice
You've never looked our way in all these years
We would found religions just to vie for your attention
But you're always on the run
The hunt
Just busy taking what you want
We long to hear your gracious grunt
To know that you are near
You're really pretty bad ass honey badger
We all wish we could be just like you
So we'll follow in your slow-motion footsteps
In this jungle we don't know what else to do
Oh honey badger
