Pickin On Me
Resilience Unveiled: Battling Bullies in Skunk Anansie's 'Pickin On Me'
Lyrics
i saw a weird boy
I observed an unusual boy
he looked at me with a look of pure hate
He stared at me with intense hatred
nobody knew all the grief where he'd been
No one was aware of the hardships he had experienced
he was a sad boy
He was a sorrowful boy
he was a victim of a dirty good time
He was a victim of a pleasurable yet morally questionable experience
feely games in the back of his boarded up estate
Engaged in sensual activities in the secluded area of his barricaded residence
soon enough, he's pickin' on me
Before long, he started bullying me
kick my head in 'cos that's all he'd seen
Physically attacked me, influenced by what he had witnessed
soon enough he's pickin on me, pickin on me
Continued to harass and victimize me
i told my teacher
I informed my teacher
she look at me so indifferently
She responded with apparent lack of interest or concern
her whole night was
Her entire evening was spent dealing with administrative tasks and bureaucracy
spent marking paper red tape
Engrossed in the tedious process of grading papers and dealing with bureaucratic red tape
so i had to learn to fight
I had to learn to defend myself
kicked her sister 'cos i had no respect
Resorted to aggression against her sister due to a lack of respect
so here's the start of another war you against me
This marks the beginning of another conflict, a struggle between you and me
soon enough he's pickin' on me
Once again, he resumed targeting and tormenting me
kick my head in 'cos that's all that he'd seen
Violently attacked me, influenced solely by what he had observed
soon enough he's pickin on me, pickin on me
Continued to subject me to harassment and victimization
