mitch benn and the distractions - macbeth (my name is) lyrics

everybody is so jaundiced that’s all
i sing that [?] song, n0body’s shockable these days
although people do their best: there’s always some piece of phony moral outrage being [conjured?] up about something
‘is there too much violence? yes there is. i don’t know’
i don’t think there’s any more violence these days then their has been ever before
you know our popular culture has always been full of violence
one of my least favourite things and it comes round all the time and every+bl++dy+one keeps saying it
‘oh if shakespeare was alive today he’d be writing for east enders ha+ha+ha+ha’
no he wouldn’t! shakespeare would not squander talent on east f+cking enders alright?
somebody with shakespeare’s incredible sk!ll with words, with verse form, with rhymes, with his extended vocabulary and his knowledge of the dark side of human nature + i know exactly what shakespeare would be doing if he was alive today
spin that sh+t!

[?] never fit in anyway
yeah i know i look look like a fat [?] but just go with it alright. yeah

grab ya seat when i grab my quill
now shut the f+k up for the word master will
christopher marlowe you’d better stay out of my way
i drop [bombs?] when i write my plays b+tch
using my sk!lls and my talent with grammar ta
kick your +rs+ in iambic pentameter
lend me your ears, even the lobes
sat+rday night, you’ll find me in the globe
listen

i wanna tell you a story full of blood, murder and death
(my name is) macbeth
i was the baddest motherf+ in scotland
whichland? whereland? wholand? whatland?
i won a battle at the head of my legions
showing my allegiance, slapping down norwegians
bearing a grievance, they came to attack
but ain’t n0body gets to f+ with big mac
on my way home i ran into these three mystic b+tches
of a kind that in those days were commonly referred to as witches
and they gave me some big news i had not been seeking
they told me that one day i would eventually be king

they got the other part right about being thane of cawdor
and i started thinking thoughts that i knew i didn’t oughta
i shared the good news with my good lady
i was getting kinda scared but she stayed slim & shady
she said “what do you owe this king? why you wanna be so nice to him?”
“if you’d left it up to me i already woulda iced him”
she was going on and on, frankly it was starting to bore me
and i think it was about then i saw a dagger before me
if there’s one thing i just can’t stand, it’s naggers
so i done the deed and she ditched the daggers

here we go
(my name is, my name is, my name is)
macbeth
hi (my name is) what? (my name is) who? (my name is)
macbeth

so i had the crown but i didn’t feel like no winner
whacked my best buddy banquo, guess who came to dinner
went back to the witches, this time they did not expect me
some spirits gave me some knowledge they said would protect me
they said “you’re cool till the trees come attackin’ your castle
“and watch out for macduff”, man, i knew he was an assh0l+
“though your deeds may be dark and your doings despicable
by man born of woman, yo’ ass is unkickable”
i came swaggering home with my new information
and had macduff’s family murdered by way of celebration
hi (my name is) what? (my name is) who? (my name is)
macbeth
hi (my name is) hail! (my name is) avaunt! (my name is) see you!

now malcolm was the name of the old king’s son
and on the day i done his dada in, to england he had run
and ever since then, well i hadn’t heard jack
but now he was back to attack and harrass the mac with a pack of sassenachs!
my knees were knockin’ my head was hurtin’
my defences were down, my troops were desertin’
i strapped on my armour, my mood was improvin’
till some kid said “check it out, dude, the trees are movin'” what?
the thanes were a strain on my brain, they were feeling the pain, they
decided they didn’t haveta
my lady went crazy and done herself in, she shoulda died hereafter…
there mighta been a time to feel some pain or sorrow
tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
hey macduff what is your problem man, where is it that you get off?
you break into my castle tryin’ to cut my f+kin’ head off?
yeah give it your best shot, lay it on, you nut
no man born of woman can kick this b+tt

turns out my charm didn’t offer no protection
motherf+ was delivered by caesarean section…
that’s the last you’ll hear from me, all things being equal
unless some dumb motherf+ decides to write a sequel
