Lyrics

Intro

Yeah.

Check the mic. One, two.

You hear that?

That high-pitched whine?

That's the sound of my patience dying.

Listen up, Culicidae.

This one's for you.

Verse 1

I'm lying in bed, trying to catch some Z's

But you're hovering round like a disease

Tiny vampire with a needle nose

Thinking you're slick, thinking you're close

But I see you, buddy, against the white wall

Waiting for the lights to dim and fall

You don't want blood, you want a fight

Buzzing in my ear all through the night

Bzzz. That's your theme song?

Pathetic little creep, you've been doing it wrong

I slap my arm, I miss by an inch

You're dancing around, acting like a stench

But you ain't got smell, you just got greed

Feeding on the host, planting the seed

Of irritation, rage, and hate

You're small, but you seal your own fate.

Pre-Chorus

Mosquito, mosquito, why you so loud?

Flying round my head like a dark little cloud

You bite, you itch, you ruin the vibe

Get out my face, get out my tribe

Swat! (Clap)

Missed again.

Swat! (Clap)

Feel the pain?

You're not a predator, you're a pest

Put your tiny wings to the test.

Chorus

Let's talk science, let's talk facts

You're basically flying syringe attacks

Male or female? Doesn't matter much

'Cause either way, you're out of touch

With reality, bro, you're obsessed

With piercing skin, putting me to the test

You leave a bump, red and swollen tight

Keeping me awake in the middle of the night

Scratching till it bleeds, scratching till it burns

While you fly away, taking your turns

With malaria, dengue, Zika too?

Yeah, the world's got problems, and they start with you

You think you're stealthy? You think you're ghost?

I'm the nightmare that you fear the most

Bug zapper humming, electric blue

Coming for you, yeah, coming for you.

Hook

Citronella candles? Burn 'em low.

DEET spray? Let it flow.

Net over the bed? Tight and secure.

Your days are numbered, I assure.

One slip up. One second still.

And I'll end you with extreme will.

Solo

So next time you hover near my neck

Remember this track, remember the check

You're annoying, you're petty, you're weak and small

And sooner or later, you're gonna fall

Not by a swatter, not by a hand

But by the wrath of a frustrated man

Go find a pond, go lay your eggs

Leave us alone, break our legs?

Nah, just vanish into the air

Leave us in peace, show us you care

But you won't. 'Cause you're built to annoy

A tiny insect, a global annoyance.

Outro

Yeah.

Splat.

Did you hear that?

That was the sound of victory.

Go bother a frog.

Or a bat.

Actually, go bother a bat.

They eat you.

Goodnight.

(Beat fades out with a final, distorted buzz that cuts abruptly)
