lyrics

Intro
Yeah, Orestes, you gotta kill that beyotch.

Chorus
Can’t you see what’s going on?
Clytemnestra’s a bitch of a mom,
She don’t care who she kills,
So show her how you gets ill,
You got to avenge his death,
Agamemnon’s got nothing left,
Now it’s time to kill that bitch,
You got to kill that bitch.

Verse
Now, here we go, Orestes, let’s see,
Your ma’s a bitch, but don’t arrest what must be,
Paid back, for deeds wack, she best leave,
And rest keep on breathing the fresh breeze,
You’re set free, kicked out of the nest though,
The test goes, like getting the west flow,
Yes, Aegisthus, no king, just lackey,
His tracks, see, follow those of the queen bee.

Chorus
Can’t you see what’s going on?
Clytemnestra’s a bitch of a mom,
She don’t care who she kills,
So show her how you gets ill,
You got to avenge his death,
Agamemnon’s got nothing left,
Now it’s time to kill that bitch,
You got to kill that bitch.

Verse
Now hurry, and forget about the furies,
They won’t do shit, so, don’t you worry,
Just scurry to the palace while dressed as a stranger,
A man from Delphi, you try, take the wager,
It’s hard to believe your ma don’t recognize you,
Reason enough, not tough to make lies true,
You gotta rise through, take size, at least try to,
Cly’s gotta die while you kickin’ it live, foo.

Chorus
Can’t you see what’s going on?
Clytemnestra’s a bitch of a mom,
She don’t care who she kills,
So show her how you gets ill,
You got to avenge his death,
Agamemnon’s got nothing left,
Now it’s time to kill that bitch,
You got to kill that bitch.

Bridge
We gotta get this shit clear now,
‘Cause only so long can we play this tight sound,
Realize you gotta kill her right now,
Hurry up, before she makes you come around.

Chorus
Can’t you see what’s going on?
Clytemnestra’s a bitch of a mom,
She don’t care who she kills,
So show her how you gets ill,
You got to avenge his death,
Agamemnon’s got nothing left,
Now it’s time to kill that bitch,
You got to kill that bitch.

Bridge
We gotta get this shit clear now,
‘Cause only so long can we play this tight sound,
Realize you gotta kill her right now,
Hurry up, before she makes you come around.
