Lyrics Scumbag - Malaki

Scumbag

Instead of pushing for a better life
They’re seen to push a pram
Have to respect their dedication
What it means to be a man
Or that’s the plan
Guzzles down his problems
With a rollie and a can
Boys will leg it when all he needed was a hand
Always have the craic with pat-to-see
Improving his night
With a minute in revelry
Another broken melody
Well that’s just an analogy and I’ve got two more
Eyes red from cycling as his mam opened that door
Starry night tonight and there’s stars in his eyes
Hurry up to bed before his dad sees him cry
Cuz his father was the proudest man in the pub
Cuz he won the dart champs three times in a row
But that’s all you know
Until he get’s home
Slamming doors behind him
To stop the demons inside him
From escaping
A man never cries well tonight I’m just waiting
Devil at the door
Where’s your soul?
I need trading
I need care
Cuz there’s more fading inside him than his fucking hair
He’s just another scumbag
He’s just another scumbag
He’s just another scumbag
He’s just another scumbag
Only release was the peace from the streets
Lonely disown me
Just hold me to a piece in your hand
Then I start to drip and fall through you like sand
Cuz he was as hard as rock
But got broken down
Never learned to swim
But could drown in the ground
Handful of sins just for a penny and a pound
Cuz he was a king in his mind
But he was never even crowned
Best he ever got was 'yeah, nice one man, sound'
Knew a lot of people
But not a lot of friends
Tied a lot of baggies
But not those loose ends
Had a girl and a son but
Never knew his mum
Too many bends in his road
He knew he’d end up a chum
Get his fix from the clinic
Eat a Twix in the Civic
Baby crying, denying he’s truly living
Cuz he’s worth more than this
Wouldn’t miss this
No such fucking thing as Christmas
Just another day
Love that he would bring to his missus
But lovers never say
Brothers dismissed his viciousness
At times he would pray
But he was never into religiousness
Just respect
That’s why he wore a silver cross
Around his neck
Had it snatched and sold for crack and gold
Thought the only craic was in the pub
Need a snack get some grub
Where’s the money?
Not enough
Fuck it I need some love
Cuz when times were tough
He’d fly his white flag
Diamond in the rough
He’s just another scumbag
He’s just another scumbag
He’s just another scumbag
He’s just another scumbag
He’s just another scumbag
He’s just another scumbag
He’s just another scumbag
He’s just another scumbag
