Prick
Unveiling Social Discomfort: "Prick" by Vic Chesnutt
Lyrics
I was shaking with laughter
I experienced intense laughter.
Scared the bratty children
I frightened mischievous children.
Did I destroy the ambiance
Did my actions disrupt the pleasant atmosphere?
I'm sure for that hoity-toity patron
I am certain I upset an arrogant or snobbish individual.
It wasn't pretty when I looked into the face
When I confronted a situation, it was not aesthetically pleasing.
Oops, into the eyes, ruptured icy chaos
Mistakenly, I gazed into the eyes, causing chaotic and uncomfortable feelings.
What's the, what's the, who's the prick
Expressing confusion about who or what is being referred to as a "prick."
We was hidden in the potted plants
We were concealed among the potted plants.
I know and we was no obnoxious
I acknowledge that we were not behaving obnoxiously.
But I could see, there in the sun room
However, I observed in the sunroom the emergence of disapproval or criticism.
The growing storm of disapproval
A metaphorical storm of disapproval was intensifying.
It wasn't pretty when I looked into the face
Similar to before, the situation was aesthetically displeasing when I confronted it.
Oops, into the eyes, ruptured icy chaos
Again, I unintentionally looked into the eyes, causing discomfort and chaos.
What's the, what's the, who's the prick
Expressing continued confusion about who or what is the "prick."
I ain't supposed to laugh
I am not supposed to laugh in this situation.
Can't let your children see that
It is important to shield children from witnessing such laughter.
I ain't supposed to wonder
I am not supposed to contemplate or question.
What's the, who's the prick
Reiterating the earlier confusion about who or what is the "prick."
What's the, who's the prick
Repeating the question about who or what is the "prick."
What's the, who's the prick
-What's the, what's the, who's the prick
Reiterating the confusion and questioning who or what is the "prick."
