Kill Them with Kindness

Lyrics

[Jamie Cullum piano intro] [Verse 1] "Ar! Ar! Ar! Ar! Ar!", said the puppy to the snake I've got a real big mirror of a smile and I hold it to the fakes Hard boot slammed to the ground so I see what shakes And I kill 'em with kindness [Chorus] I kill 'em with kindness Ain't no doormats here [Verse 2] It doesn't mean you have to bow, or say "Your Highness" Just kill 'em with kindness If you wanna beat the machine, keep your teeth clean And kill 'em with kindness [Chorus] Kill 'em with kindness Kill 'em with kindness Kill 'em with kindness Kill 'em with kindness Kindness [Verse 3] I guess you cannot tell from my tone, I mean ba-ba-business and I ain't on my own I'm guessing it is hard for you to see, that-that-that-that empathy will cut down your throne Don't you mind people grinning in your face, ding-ding-ding-ding-ding, said the champ to the chase Woo [Chorus] 'Cause we're killing 'em with kindness (kill 'em with kindness) [Verse 4] Your hum-drum, sarky slow lines don't bother me none "Wa-wa-wa, woo-woo-woo" said the flower to the sun Our love-locked congregation gift will get you slapped "Gna na na na na gnaw", said the beaver to the dam [Chorus] 'Cause we're killing with kindness Kill 'em with kindness We'll kill 'em with kindness [Outro] Woo! Ay ya ya ya ya ya ya ya there ain't no doormats here Shake!
