Wrecking Ball is the 9th track on Vancouver based indie rock band Mother Mother’s second album, O My Heart. It’s about being meaninglessly violent and angry, and the thought process behind it.
[Verse 1]
I made a wreck out of my hand
I put it through the wall
I made a fist and not a plan
Call me a reckless wrecking ball
I throw my plates against the wall
And give it all I got
I aim to break not one but all
I'm just a big ol' wrecking ball
[Chorus]
I am unruly in the stands
I am a rock on top of the sand
I am a fist amidst the hands
And I break it just because I can
[Post-Chorus]
(Bu-da-da-dah, du-da-dah)
(Da-da-da-dah, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
It takes a dedicated hand
To put it through the wall
You gotta wanna break the heart
Of all those pretty porcelain dolls
You gotta wanna be the drummer in the band
You gotta wanna be a battering ram
You gotta see the artistry
In tearing the place apart with me, baby
[Chorus]
I am unruly in the stands
I am a rock on top of the sand
I am a fist amidst the hands
And I break it just because I can
[Bridge]
Let's break it
(Just because we can)
Deface it
(Just because we can)
Let's break it
Just because
Just because
Just because
Just because
[Chorus]
I am unruly in the stands
(I am a rock on top of the sand)
I am a fist amidst the hands
And I make a wreck out of my hand
(I make a fist and not a plan)
And I break it just because I can
[Outro]
Because I can
Because I can
Because I can
Because I can
Because I can
Because I can
Because I can
