lyrics

Chorus
Hey, ho, what the hell is going on? That’s right, it’s time for… Going on? Antigone!
Hey, ho, what the hell is going on? On, Creon?

Verse
Yo, Creon, what the hell is going on, huh?
You’re world is falling apart, you should’ve now withdrawn, son,
You picked a bad time to assert your power,
‘Cause family members die with every passing hour,
You’re in a sour state of mind ‘cause Haemon don’t agree,
You say that you believe he’s whipped by Antigone,
Now why can’t you just see? Like the prophet with his B,
That maybe instead of death, you should set her free,
Just think about it, you’ll find without a doubt,
Shit, if you have time, you can figure it out,
With your brain and power, how are you gonna fix this?
For the sake of family, you better not miss this,
I don’t know what you’re thinking about,
You’re acting so stupid,
Why are you just waiting around?
I know we’ve been through this.

Chorus
Hey, ho, what the hell is going on? Going on?
Hey, ho, what the hell is going on? On, Creon?

Verse
I don’t have to warn you, just get a fuckin’ brain now,
Give it a will, give it away, nothin’ to say now,
‘Cause what I say of what you need is all the same now,
You stay that way, you’re gonna have to pay now,
You’ve been given chances, yet you advance with punishment,
And you pay it back two-fold with son and shit,
Now your wife died too,
All because you can’t bury who attacked you,
Look, he’s dead, just give him proper rights,
You’ll do it anyway, so while all are still alive,
Dig down six feet and drop him in,
Cover him up and you’re free of sin,
It’s as simple as it sounds,
So why don’t you just realize?
Get your feet back on the ground,
Now that’s enough of your lies.

Chorus
Hey, ho, what the hell is going on? Going on?
Hey, ho, what the hell is going on? On, Creon?

Bridge
Hey, ho, what the hell is going on? Going on?
I don’t know what you’re thinking about,
You’re acting so stupid,
Why are you just waiting around?
I know we’ve been through this.
Hey, ho, what the hell is going on? On, Creon?
I don’t know what you’re thinking about,
You’re acting so stupid,
Why are you just waiting around?
I know we’ve been through this.
