This song captures anger from someone frustrated with another who ignored grave warnings about a dangerous situation. The addressee is oblivious to the life-threatening situation about which the speaker warned.
[Verse]
My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in
You're wading knee deep and going in
[Chorus]
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a stupid, belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a dumb and belligerent fucker
I hope it sucks you down
Down, down, down
[Verse]
My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in
And you may never come back again
[Chorus]
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a stupid, belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a dumb and belligerent fucker
I hope it sucks you down
[Verse]
My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in
And you may never come back again
[Chorus]
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a stupid, belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a dumb and belligerent fucker
I hope it suck
I hope it suck
I hope it sucks you, fucker
I hope it suck
I hope it suck
I hope it sucks you down
[Bridge]
Wanderin', wanderin'
No one even invited you and you still stumble in
Suffocate, suffocate
Why don't you get away?
Wanderin' around bitchin' when
No one even invited you and you still stumble in
Suffocate, suffocate
Why don't you get out while you can?
No one told you to come
[Verse]
My warning meant nothing
You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in
And you may never come back again
[Chorus]
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a stupid, belligerent fucker
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a dumb and belligerent fucker
I hope it suck
I hope it suck
I hope it suck you, fucker
I hope it sucks
I hope it sucks
I hope it sucks you
