about
Verbal Sludge's Halloween single, Trick or Try Me.
lyrics
Roll up into the neighborhood, the first house got three stories
My friend-ham buddy Eddie is dressed up like Jason Voorhees
I got that fake blood, or at least isn't mine
Got it from a shady van, guy said it was "divine"
And Nate, the hate that he creates, holds skittles and a tea
That’s just his prerogative, I swear it isn't me
I came in with more subtlety; I'm lookin' like James Holmes
We're here to take your candy and to make our presence known
I've lost my sense of self
I'm dressed as someone else
If I could change, I would
Not really but it sounded good
Candy
No time to stall
We won't stop until we've got it all
Candy
Don't give us mints
We know just how to hide our fingerprints
Pull up to the curb with our rims spinning, that's our swag
And we won't stop 'til every house puts candy in our bag
You've got your porch light off, my friend. Well, that is just okay.
We'll break in through your attic and then make our getaway
Stroll over to the next house, it would seem that someone's there
despite all our best efforts, it would seem they didn't care
We'll change their way of thinking then, we'll steal their fucking dog
Now Sparky has a new best friend to go synagogue with
Candy
Give us your candy
All of your candy
We want it all, now fill the bag, bitch.
Candy
We've got your candy
To feed our families
and now your dog is jewish, too
Pull off our fucking yamakas. Man, that verse got real weird.
We're back to going door-to-door, grinning ear to ear
Next house gave candy apples but we found some razor blades
A senseless cruelty to the kids, someone would have to pay
We're walking back up to the door, it's time to ring the bell
We could have been some little girl, we're sending him to hell
He opens up his domicile, I put one in his chest
You worthless, Jared Fogle fuck, now you've been laid to rest
I've found my sense of self
Protecting someone else
At first, we were just thieves
But now we keep the peace
Candy
We've saved the day
Hurting kids, that shit is not okay
Candy
Now we say goodbye
Be back next year, but for now we ride
