Lyrics
In my carcass, juice inside a carton
Tried to whack a mole and spray his guts in my garden
Beg your pardon, I'm visiting regarding
Your offer from the other day, I think I almost got it

Yeah, told him watch the ego, I got a couple kilos
Waiting in my hammer, send you flying like it's Heathrow
Wait, wait, wait, don't be angry by default
This might be strategically good for us lethal

I seen his teeth and I fancy a bite
I said, "Fuck it, maybe pull up to the show tonight
You can squeak rubbish up on stage with a mic
And we can finally put our little group on a track"

So we pulled up with him, the bouncers are broken
He says the venue won't allow no animals or children
On the area for the show, but the rabbit stays grinning
He hops in through the ventilation system just to get in

Microphone check, but the cable got corroded
The bunny chewed through it and I think the way it holds it
Hit the feedback, sound guy screaming at me
'Cause he had to hear that right inside his earwax

Daisy passed the mic to me, I held it incorrect
Put my fist around the top, I should've held the neck
Fucking up my shit, I'm spitting, running out of breath
But we played the song and did it with the other bands' check

The rabbit pocketed the cash, green room snacks
Getting snacks, dressing room of the headline act
Found the door and then we dashed, heading to the cab
Hit the gas, drive away, I think we hit a couple fans

Don't know about this bunny or why we even need him (need him)
Was feeling kinda weird about the carpet he was squeaking (squeaking)

In the morning in the mail, we got a funny looking letter
Told the rabbit grab it, lazy fucker starts to get up
Slice the paper open, what's it saying?
Let me check, uh, it's the label tryna sign us for a record
Yeah, shit
Blah blah blah, it's great to be connected
Can you come to our office sometime in the next week?

Look, I mean, I'm kinda skeptic
We think the gimmick with the rabbit's quite effective
Pull up to reception, told us take a left then
Step onto the spiral stairs, 20 floors ascending

Get up, Jesus
Knock on door number seven
Went inside the room, it's where the A&R's desk is
He shook our hands, kinda squeezed 'em and it hurt it
Subtle power move to make his dominance asserted
Hi there, big fan, uh, newly converted
I attended the show the other week, and I was lurking

He said, "Where's my manners? You all look exhausted"
Big ol' set of stairs, someone fetch the band some water
This intern did, came back and he brought us
One glass for the rabbit and meanwhile he ignored us

I exchanged a look with Daisy, this is kinda strange
Anyway, boss man, please cut to the chase
Put his fingers 'round the buckles of his big briefcase
Got a document out, turned it to the first page

This is our vision in a nutshell, listen
We'd like to put the rabbit in a front man position
He pressed a button notifying his assistant
Told him fetch a bribe and expedite our decision
In the meantime, the second page was data analytics

Concluding our core demographic's made of idiots
With him, the rabbit's great, we would really like to milk
The label keeps to turn the page to show us lots of lyrics
In this song, he plugs prod dogs for commission

Hologram concerts online making millions
Dubious, swagless brands collabing with him
When he dies, a posthumous record is releasing
Nah, simmer down with the bollocks
We in Seamus turn 180 degrees to leave the office
Assistant pops back in and says he's got the
Keys for a carrot-coloured Audi as an offer

Wow, nice, where do I sign?
I'd love to take the carrot vehicle for a drive (oh, no shit)
Went to grab the pen before I could try
We seen the paper touch the ink above the dots and the lines
We were escorted out the office, dragged by the wrist
Kicked to the curb, uh, fell into a bin
'Nother letter from the label, a cease and desist
Says we need a new name 'cause the rabbit's taken sixth

Worms like you were born as food for bigger fish
Decapitated in the mouth, ejected in the shit
I'm sorry that we operate within a cutthroat biz
I think he knows the bottom line, we do the same to him
And the rabbit says
