‘Down With Prince’ is a lo-fi fry-up of slap-bass, wiggly electronics and stop-start drum loops. It’s as funny as it is fabulous and directs a torrent of rage at name-checking hipsters (“I’m sick of mother-fuckers tryin' to tell me that they’re down with Prince,” they seethe.)
–Tim Jonze, NME
I'm sick of motherfuckers trying to tell me that they're down with Prince
I was just a baby when I heard him playing Vanity 6
And now it's such a ripoff got to get to my Electric Six
Show 'em how it's done I think you got to get shown up rich
[Chorus]
Snare drums pound on the 2 and 4
If you've got a kick drum get on the floor
[?] some more
All the [?] get out the door
[?]
[?] if you know what I mean
[?]
[Bridge x4]
Gettin' down with your royal badness
Been working night and day on my CV since I was seven years old
Didn't know a dollar from a sniff of your raspberry cologne
Ladies beg your pardon can I show no bitches good to go
Where were you [?]
[Chorus]
[Bridge x4]
