The Hydra

Chords

I admit I was pissed when you chopped off my head
But Hercules, take a seat, 'cause you won't believe what happens: Necks!
Cause from the stump of my neck I grew two more
(I swear this has never happened before)
But I'm back and better off than I was then
(and now they're singing)

Do you think the Hydra knew that THAT would happen?
Or was he surprised as everyone of us?
Decapitate me once, shame on you, that ain't enough
Do you think the Hydra knew he'd get back up?

The first dozen times were the hardest but now it feels good
Before you started hackin', man I thought I was kaput
But now this one's a fighter, and this one's a biter
And that one's determined, and this one knows German
And one knows karate, we call that one "Choppy"
But don't talk to this one 'till he's had his coffee
We're offering all of these skills
You can chop off our heads but we cannot be killed
We'll just get bigger and better and stronger together
I've tethered the best parts of me so now whether

You think the Hydra knew that THAT would happen
Or if he's surprised as everyone of us
Decapitate me twice, shame on you, it's still not nice
Do you think the Hydra knew he'd get back up?

And now Hercules is screaming: "this is not how this one goes"
But you've mixed up mythology with history, my foe
Cause history is what happened, mythology's just imagine
So I'll write this one myself to be the hero of this battle
Hercules, your courtesy 12-trial subscription to life is complete
And I've got many mouths to feed so I will start with non-believers

Cause I think I always knew that this would happen
That I'd surprise the world with what I've got
You can decapitate me all you want, I'm both laissez-faire and nonchalant
Cause I think I always knew I'd get back up

Yeah, I think I always knew I'd get back up
