[Intro – dirty aggressive punk guitar riff, pounding drums, distorted bass] [Verse 1 – fast snarling female punk vocal] Everybody saw it hanging, everybody knew it grew, Right above the fucking doorway everyone kept walking through. Don't look up. Don't make noise. Don't disturb the fragile peace. Learn to step around the problem, maybe someday it'll leave. Someone whispers, “This is fucked.” Everybody nods along. Then the second someone asks us, everything is fucking fine. So I stood beneath the bastard, looked at everyone and said: If nobody wants to touch it— I'll fucking do it then. [Pre-Chorus – aggressive build] You knew it was there! You watched it grow! You built your whole routine around pretending you don't know! Now everybody's comfortable— [Shout-sung] LET'S FUCKING FIX THAT! [Chorus – explosive punk vocal] KICK THE HORNET'S NEST! WATCH THE BASTARDS FLY! NOW EVERYBODY'S FUCKING ANGRY— GOOD! SO AM I! KICK THE HORNET'S NEST! LET THE WHOLE THING COME APART! DON'T BLAME THE FUCKING BOOT FOR WHAT WAS ROTTEN FROM THE START! [Fast abrasive guitar riff] [Verse 2 – dense rapid shout-rap] Now they're running, now they're shouting, now it's somehow all on me, Funny how a little chaos makes you suddenly fucking see. “You made it worse!” No, I made it visible. There's a difference, learn it quick. You were happy with the problem when nobody disturbed the shit. Keep it quiet! Keep it civil! Don't upset the status quo! Translation: We all fucking hate it, but we'd rather never know! Smile politely! Lower voices! Pick a better time and place! You've been picking better moments for a fucking decade straight! [Pre-Chorus – furious] Don't tell me I caused this! Don't tell me I went too far! I didn't build the fucking nest— [Growled shout] I JUST SHOWED YOU WHERE THEY ARE! [Chorus – heavier] KICK THE HORNET'S NEST! WATCH THE BASTARDS FLY! NOW THE ROOM IS FULL OF PANIC 'CAUSE THE TRUTH WON'T FUCKING HIDE! KICK THE HORNET'S NEST! LET 'EM BUZZ AROUND YOUR HEAD! YOU COULD'VE DEALT WITH THIS YEARS AGO— YOU FED THE FUCKING THING INSTEAD! [Instrumental Break – frantic drums, jagged guitar and bass] [Bridge – heavy half-time punk rhythm] You don't want peace. You want quiet. Those are not the fucking same. Peace means fixing what is broken. Quiet means don't say its name. So call me difficult. Call me reckless. Tell me I destroyed the calm. Your precious calm was everybody knowing something here was wrong. [Drums accelerate] [Extended Shout-Rap – fast, aggressive] YOU SAW THE CRACKS AND PAINTED OVER! SMELLED THE SMOKE AND SHUT THE DOOR! HEARD THE FLOORBOARDS FUCKING BREAKING, SAID THEY ALWAYS CREAKED BEFORE! EVERY WARNING GOT DISMISSED! EVERY QUESTION GOT DEFLECTED! EVERY PERSON WHO OBJECTED GOT THE SAME SHIT I EXPECTED! TOO MUCH! TOO LOUD! NOT THE TIME! NOT THE WAY! FUNNY HOW THERE'S NEVER A GOOD MOMENT WHEN YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY! SO IF SAYING IT OUT LOUD MAKES YOUR PERFECT SYSTEM BREAK— [Harsh shout] MAYBE IT WAS FUCKING BROKEN LONG BEFORE I MADE IT SHAKE! [Breakdown – crushing punk rhythm] I kicked it. You heard it. Now deal with what comes out. [Music surges] [Final Chorus – massive aggressive punk vocal] KICK THE HORNET'S NEST! WATCH THE BASTARDS FLY! YOU CAN POINT YOUR FUCKING FINGER— I'LL BE STANDING RIGHT OUTSIDE! KICK THE HORNET'S NEST! LET THE WHOLE DAMN STRUCTURE BEND! DON'T BLAME THE FUCKING BOOT— BLAME EVERYONE WHO SAW THE NEST AND FED IT AGAIN AND AGAIN! [Final rapid riff] [Shout-sung] YOU WANTED QUIET! I WANTED IT FIXED! [Final hit]
