You Need a Hug
Embracing Life Amidst Angst
Lyrics
Maybe you should work for "sick of it all"
Perhaps you should work for a band named "Sick of It All."
Or get a job with the LAPD
Consider getting a job with the Los Angeles Police Department.
Did someone switch your Ritalin with ephedrine?
Suggests a sudden change in behavior due to a medication mix-up, causing increased agitation.
Just don't take your fucking problems out on me.
Requesting not to vent personal frustrations onto the speaker.
I'd buy you a little fuzzy bunny
The speaker would offer a comforting gift to help alleviate stress.
I'd put you on my x-mas card list
Expressing a willingness to include the listener in the speaker's social circle.
If you'd promise not to take your job so seriously
Asking the listener to lighten up and not take things too seriously.
And realize you don't have to be so pissed.
Encouraging the listener to recognize that being angry is unnecessary.
Life ain't all that bad. life ain't all that bad.
Reiterating that life isn't entirely negative.
Even if Henry Rollins is your dad.
Even if someone influential (like Henry Rollins) is your parent, life still has positives.
Life ain't all that bad. life ain't all that bad.
Reaffirming the idea that life has its good moments despite difficulties.
Buck up little camper, don't be sad.
Encouraging the listener to cheer up and not be saddened by life's challenges.
Maybe you could go hunting with Ted Nugent
Suggesting an extreme activity to potentially change the listener's perspective.
And see how many animals you could kill.
Proposing an activity that might challenge the listener's beliefs or values.
I'd pay all of my friends just to hang out with you
Expressing a willingness to go out of the way and pay friends to spend time with the listener.
And take you out to sizzler for a meal.
Offering to take the listener for a meal at a casual restaurant.
I'd take you to my favorite karaoke bar
Willingness to take the listener to a favorite social spot.
And you sing "let the sunshine in".
Suggesting a song for the listener to sing, perhaps as a form of catharsis.
You could stomp my ass into oblivion
Even if the listener becomes aggressive, the speaker won't tolerate mistreatment.
But that doesn't mean I'll put up with your shit.
Asserting boundaries and refusal to tolerate disrespectful behavior.
