“Petting Zoo Justice” is a the hardest-hitting track on Dance Gavin Dance’s 8th studio album Mothership and features mainly unclean vocals by Jon Mess.
The song feels like a violent expression of frustration, but the angry sound is ironically paired with humorous lyrics about animals fighting. It d...
[Chorus: Jon Mess]
I don't even fucking feel nobody
I don't even fucking feel nobody
I keep sucking up the feeling that it's all a waste
And I'm just waiting in a body
I don't even fucking feel nobody
I don't even fucking feel nobody
I keep sucking up the feeling that it's all a waste
And I'm just waiting in a body
[Verse 1: Jon Mess]
Black cat, brown rat, face off versus fruit bat
The greatest fight we've seen yet, immaculate tact
Green clam, yellow lamb, fight purple face ram
Bets are in, it's not a scam, find out who wins
It's just an animal ass whoop show
Puppy dog had an accident, damn it, mammal
Kangaroo cracks its dick in half, the crowd sprayed crimson
Shark dad ate a baby calf, you still like burgers
Clip-clop, clip-clip-clop
Horse comes out and beats your parents up
[Pre-Chorus: Tilian]
Going away, vacation
Going away, vacation
Vacation
[Chorus: Jon Mess]
I don't even fucking feel nobody
I don't even fucking feel nobody
I keep sucking up the feeling that it's all a waste
And I'm just waiting in a body
I don't even fucking feel nobody
I don't even fucking feel nobody
I keep sucking up the feeling that it's all a waste
And I'm just waiting in a body
[Verse 2: Jon Mess]
Blue dog, red frog, face off vs. big hog
Balancing on wet logs, swamp bog, thick fog
Gray duck, white beaver, fight golden retriever
One has meat cleaver nick-named "Life Eater"
[Bridge: Tilian]
Get me out, all your self-commendations
Don't face me now, I'd rather be blind to my malformations
Don't tell me I act like a child, I grew up in a basement
Practicing a smile, practicing a smile
[Outro: Jon Mess]
Ride in the hammock with a bleeding fist
My white sides splitting like the ironic
Cucked little critter from the boards
I sniff around on triggering the weeb racists
Both sides are shit, both sides are flipped
Ripped off the jaw of the idealist
Pick from one of any fantasy pipe dreams
