Awful (Live at Big Day Out) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Swing low
Sweet cherry, make it awful
It's your life
It's your party, it's so awful
Let's start a fire
Let's have a riot, man, it's awful
It was punk
Now it's just stupid, it's so awful
[Chorus]
They know how to break all the girls like you
And they rob the souls of the girls like you
Break the hearts of girls
[Verse 2]
Swing low
Cherry, cherry, man, it's awful
He's drunk
He tastes like candy, he's so beautiful
He's so deep
Like dirty water, God, he's awful
You're lost
Oh, where's your daddy?
Man, it's awful
Swing low
Sweet cherry, make it awful
It's your life
It's your party, it's so awful
Let's start a fire
Let's have a riot, man, it's awful
It was punk
Now it's just stupid, it's so awful
[Chorus]
They know how to break all the girls like you
And they rob the souls of the girls like you
Break the hearts of girls
[Verse 2]
Swing low
Cherry, cherry, man, it's awful
He's drunk
He tastes like candy, he's so beautiful
He's so deep
Like dirty water, God, he's awful
You're lost
Oh, where's your daddy?
Man, it's awful
[Chorus]
And they royalty-rate all the girls like you
And they sell it out to the girls like you
To incorporate littlе girls
[Bridge]
Hey, run away with the light
Run away, it's divine
Lеt's run away, yeah, tonight
We'll steal the light of the world
[Verse 3]
Swing low
Sweet cherry, make it awful
You're ripe
For the fucking, it's so awful
You've got your youth
Don't waste your money, yeah, its awful
I was punk
Now I'm just stupid and I'm so awful
[Interlude]
Oh, just shut up, you're only sixteen
Oh, just shut up, you're only sixteen
[Verse 4]
If the world is so wrong
Yeah, you can break them all with one song
If the world is so wrong
Yeah, you can take it all with one song
And they royalty-rate all the girls like you
And they sell it out to the girls like you
To incorporate littlе girls
[Bridge]
Hey, run away with the light
Run away, it's divine
Lеt's run away, yeah, tonight
We'll steal the light of the world
[Verse 3]
Swing low
Sweet cherry, make it awful
You're ripe
For the fucking, it's so awful
You've got your youth
Don't waste your money, yeah, its awful
I was punk
Now I'm just stupid and I'm so awful
[Interlude]
Oh, just shut up, you're only sixteen
Oh, just shut up, you're only sixteen
[Verse 4]
If the world is so wrong
Yeah, you can break them all with one song
If the world is so wrong
Yeah, you can take it all with one song

Sweet cherry, make it awful
They bought it all
Just build a new one, make it beautiful, yeah
Swing low
Sweet cherry, make it awful
They bought it all
Just build a new one, make it beautiful, yeah
