Everybody 01:08
Everybody wants to use my body To get off Get their point across To get rich Scratch their secret itch Their testing ground My pubic mound Their playground My burial ground Their fortune found My body bound I want to use my body I want to kill somebody I want to take off my body I want to kill somebody Everybody Wants to use my body To feel good Everybody Wants to use my body Everybody

Always Knew 00:56
Fighting with myself under grunting pig Lying to myself, touching twig What did I say? What did I mean? Memory’s gray, feels like a dream I always knew how I would scream Where was my voice when I needed me? Doesn’t seem right, stomach feels weird Throat’s getting tight, I still feel his beard Get out of my room, I don’t want to talk I feel so consumed with all of this shock I always knew how I would scream Where was my voice when I needed me?

Weak 01:34
Damn our moms for teaching us We just know independence Hope you want a girl who’s meek Loving you makes me feel weak Modern woman, have it all Sweet romance makes me feel small Hope you want a girl who’s meek Loving you makes me feel weak Virgin slut gives me exhaust Tired tropes make me feel lost Hope you want a girl who’s meek Loving you makes me feel weak Panicking and feeling shame Wish I could get in your brain Hope you want a girl who’s meek Loving you makes me feel weak Alpha bitch, passive lamb I just want to hold your hand Hope you want a girl who’s meek Loving you makes me feel weak

Frogman 01:04
He’s the frogman, he eats flies out of your hand He’s the frogman, amphibian lifespan He’s the frogman, chase the frog caravan He’s the frogman and he has got a slimy plan Ribbit Do the frogman, on the floor put your hands Do the frogman, first you hop and then you land Do the frogman Hop hop hop
5.
Teeth 01:08
Bad habits bad genes Bad breath my teeth White tongue gums bleed My mouth it rots indeed More sugar more plaque Please teeth come back Eat candy drink coke My teeth they make me choke Drill holes sharp scrape Fillings are taking shape Dentist says silver caps Hold teeth till I relapse
6.
Broke 01:18
One jug of bubble bath I bought a fancy candle A series of face masks Relaxing fuzzy socks I tried an isolation tank I tried to meditate Emptied out my whole bank And still felt shitty Ten years of therapy, twenty years of pills All my living carefully all I got was broke Shit still sucks

Clown 01:25
I’m not a comment box I’m a woman I’m not a crispy sock I’m a woman I’m not a nice painting I’m a woman I’m not for complaining I’m a woman I’m not a gold trophy I’m a woman I can’t be so holy I’m a woman I’m not prey I’m a woman I’m not Fabergé I’m a woman I’m not anything special I’m a woman I’m not a red devil I’m a woman Am I a woman? I’m not a woman I’m a clown

Thirsty 02:37
Twelve thousand in the ground Grin on your ruddy cheeks It’s only clumsy lies When you decide to speak Party boys back you Say you try to do good You’re nothing but a worm Under your dirty white hood You took all my money You gave it to your friends They spent it on themselves They never made amends A month with no water Every meal is boiled I can’t help but want Your ugly mansion soiled So when I drink your blood Don’t beg me for mercy Mother fucker I’m thirsty

about

Big Clown is a group of best friends from Memphis, TN and Jackson, MS who got together one night to try and make a record without writing or rehearsing anything beforehand. What came out of it was a car-hitting-a-brick-wall style explosion, true living room punk from southern freaks trying to create something memorable and honest in the smallest timespan they can. The rules were simple: every song has one good idea and only one good idea. Get in, get out. Don’t linger. Tune each string to the same note. When it’s done, it’s done.

Fast forward four years, three main releases, one Japanese exclusive tape, and several Gonerfests later to Beatdown. Written after a road trip gone wrong soundtracked by 16 hours of buttrock hits, Beatdown is what happens when your guitars tuned to only one note need to play something new. Beatdown is what happens when you write songs to amuse yourself and hope other people come along for the ride. Beatdown is what happens when your city faces a near insurmountable water crisis and you know exactly who is to blame. Sometimes you just gotta laugh.
