Combat Baby
Metric · Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? [2003]
We used to leave the blue lights on
And there was a beat
Ever since you have been gone, it's all caffeine-free
And faux punk fatigue
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
But no harm done, no
None of them want to fight me
Combat baby, come back baby
Fight off the lethargy, don't go quietly
Combat baby, say you will never give up easy
Combat baby come back
Get back in town, I wanna paint it black
I wanna get around, easy living crowd, so flat
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
I want to be wrong, but
No one here wants to fight me like you do
Combat baby, come back baby
Fight off the lethargy, don't go quietly
Combat baby
Say you're never gonna give up easy
Combat baby come back
I try to be so nice
Compromise
Who gets it good?
Every mighty mild seventies child
Every mighty mild seventies child
Beats me
Do do doo, do do doo
Do do doo, do-do-do-doo
Do do doo, do do doo
Do do doo, do-do-do-doo
Combat baby, come back baby
Combat baby come back
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, baby
Combat baby, come back
How I miss your ranting
Do you miss my all time lows?
And there was a beat
Ever since you have been gone, it's all caffeine-free
And faux punk fatigue
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
But no harm done, no
None of them want to fight me
Combat baby, come back baby
Fight off the lethargy, don't go quietly
Combat baby, say you will never give up easy
Combat baby come back
Get back in town, I wanna paint it black
I wanna get around, easy living crowd, so flat
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
I want to be wrong, but
No one here wants to fight me like you do
Combat baby, come back baby
Fight off the lethargy, don't go quietly
Combat baby
Say you're never gonna give up easy
Combat baby come back
I try to be so nice
Compromise
Who gets it good?
Every mighty mild seventies child
Every mighty mild seventies child
Beats me
Do do doo, do do doo
Do do doo, do-do-do-doo
Do do doo, do do doo
Do do doo, do-do-do-doo
Combat baby, come back baby
Combat baby come back
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, baby
Combat baby, come back
How I miss your ranting
Do you miss my all time lows?
