lyrics

Intro
Yo, what’s up?
Bacchae,
Alright, now get your drinks out.

Verse
Yo, now everybody get your drinks out,
And let me story, though it may get a little gory,
But curiosity killed the cat,
And he ain’t coming back,
Don’t even question the lower gods if you’re just a mortal,
‘Cause even Dionysus might hear this sort of shit,
Against him, and though he’s just the god of wine,
Yo, it’ll end bad every time,
Yo, gods are a vengeful bunch,
So, it doesn’t really make sense to pick on the drunk ones,
He’s an angry drunk and you’re a stupid guy,
Shit will fly, understand? Bacchae,
That’s right, your mother will tear you apart,
Literally in a drunken rage,
Literally in a drunken state,
Pentheus, meet your maker.

Chorus
Why you being such a dumbass?
Why you being such a dumbass?
Such a dumbass,
Bacchae,
Why are you mortals stubborn?
Why are you mortals stubborn?
All stubborn,
Bacchae.

Verse
You don’t have to worship, that’s not your problem,
That’s not your problem, but it won’t solve them,
Dionysus, ain’t a nice god,
But in God we trust,
Why did you forfeit the worshipping?
He’s a damn god, not just a king,
See those women, he makes them sing,
But that’s not everything,
No wine god in all of Thebes,
He’ll notice, and so might we,
Make you crazy as hard as you try,
Can’t stop, Bacchae,
Bacchae, seeing two suns, two Thebes,
Well, you’re drunk in two cities,
This is the end of the road, end of the road,
Exit been shown, so.

Chorus
Why you being such a dumbass?
Why you being such a dumbass?
Such a dumbass,
Bacchae,
Why are you mortals stubborn?
Why are you mortals stubborn?
All stubborn,
Bacchae.
