Band Aid Covers The Bullet Hole is the second song from Scarling’s 2003 album Sweet Heart Dealer. It was also released as a single with the B-side H/C and a cover of Radiohead’s Creep.
The song tells the story of children who are being neglected by their abusive parents. It also tells the story of...
[Verse 1]
Bees in the caramel and I'm not afraid
Surgeons make incisions, what a mess they've made
Tearing at my skin, leaving knives in my brain
Stabbing at the voices, driving me insane
[Pre-Chorus]
Girls vomit candy and lies that they're fed
Boys whisper lullabies and wet their beds
Eat TV violence on the toast that they spread
Talking with their mouths closed, here is what they've said
[Chorus]
Say hello to my little friend
The world is getting ugly and we did it again
Say hello to my little friend
The world is getting ugly and we did it again
Hello, oh, oh
The band aid only covers the bullet hole
Hello, oh, oh
The band aid only covers the bullet hole
[Post-Chorus]
La, la, la
La la, la la la, la
[Verse 2]
Spiders in my hair and guns on my mind
Thinking about the people who've been so unkind
If looks could kill them, I might make myself blind
Startled at the reasons that I just can't find
[Pre-Chorus]
Kids break the dishes, they crash on the floor
Parents hate the noise and shove them out the door
Robots steal narcotics, hide them under their beds
It's gets them all excited, here is what they've said
[Chorus]
Say hello to my little friend
The world is getting ugly and we did it again
Say hello to my little friend
The world is getting ugly and we did it again
Hello, oh, oh
The band aid only covers the bullet hole
Hello, oh, oh
The band aid only covers the bullet hole
[Refrain]
Hello, oh, oh
The band aid only covers the bullet hole
[Outro]
La, la, la
La la, la la la, la
Blah, blah, blah
Blah blah, blah blah blah, blah
