lyrics

Intro
Yo, kick it out,
Philoctetes,
Yo, Philo!
Yo, come on,
That’s right.

Verse
Yo, yo, yo, Philo, believe it or not,
Your bow is actually needed to bring down Troy,
So stop acting like a little boy and become a man,
You keep whining, so you’ll hear it again,
You call that a snake bite? It looks like a cut,
And what don’t kill ya makes ya stronger, so shut up,
You were abandoned ‘cause no one likes a crier,
Why oh why were you punished? I start to tire,
Of this bullshit, just go down to Troy,
They even brought Ulysses and Achilles’ boy,
You let a spy tell you that this is a trick?
Your stupidity is moving me and making me sick,
You suffer uncontrollably ‘cause your foot hurts?
God, how bad could it be? Just cut it off,
I’ll just say it, you don’t deserve a song,
And no, I won’t make it long.

Chorus
How did you even survive this long?
What? Yo Philo, here’s your song,
You suck, stop being such a bitch,
You suck, that’s the way it is,
Christ, put him out of his misery,
What? Whiniest Greek in history,
You suck, yo Philo, here’s your song,
You suck, and I won’t make it long.

Bridge
It goes, we ain’t down, no, we ain’t down,
No, we ain’t down with you, that’s right,
It goes, we ain’t down, no, we ain’t down,
No, we ain’t down with you, that’s right.

Verse
Yo, you gotta understand this, it ain’t underhanded,
Yo, and even if it was, you’re a bitch and I can’t stand it,
Fuck this, just please stop your talking,
And if your foot is so bad, how do you keep walking?
So, do what you want, I guess I don’t care,
It doesn’t matter to me, Philoctetes,
But if you complain anymore, I hope you die,
A slow painful death and not quickly.

Chorus
How did you even survive this long?
What? Yo Philo, here’s your song,
You suck, stop being such a bitch,
You suck, that’s the way it is,
Christ, put him out of his misery,
What? Whiniest Greek in history,
You suck, yo Philo, here’s your song,
You suck, and I won’t make it long.
