Faith No More - A Small Victory Lyrics






A hierarchy
Spread out on the nightstand
The spirit of team
Salvation is another chance
A sore loser
Yelling with my mouth shut
A cracking portrait
The fondling of trophies
The null of losing
Can you afford that luxury?
A sore winner
But I'll just keep my mouth shut

It shouldn't bother me, no
It shouldn't, no, no
It shouldn't bother me, no
It shouldn't
But it does!

The small victories
The cankers and medallions
The little nothings
That keep me thinking that someday
I might beat you
But I'll just keep my mouth shut

It shouldn't bother me, no
It shouldn't, no, no
It shouldn't bother me, no
It shouldn't
But it, but it does!

It. Shouldn't. Bother me!
It. Shouldn't. Bother me!

It. Shouldn't. Bother me!
(It shouldn't bother me, no
It shouldn't, no, no)
It. Shouldn't. Bother me!
(It shouldn't bother me, no
It shouldn't)

If I speak at one constant volume at one constant pitch
At one constant rhythm right into your ear, you still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear

    Mike Patton was unique.

  2. L.... ....

    One if my biggest inspirations since I was 13. Mike your vocals are just outstanding. Massive influence to me and my own style of singing.. original. The entire group are just amazing with their own roles. The arrangement and production is spot on. Even to thus day it hasn't dated. True musicians 🤟
    I was lucky enough to finally see you in 2009 at Download. One of the best nights I've ever had. I still couldn't believe it when you was all there a few feet away. Wow you blew my f*ckin mind! Awesome 👍

  7. s.... ....

    This is the first time I've seen the video to this song. I hate it, looks like it had a high budget too.

  8. g.... ....

    After i saw this video and heard this song for the first time i ran out and bought the CD and then realized Midlife Crisis was also on it. Then I hear Be Aggressive, Land of Sunshine, Everything's Ruined, Kindergarten…..blown AWAY!!! Almost 30 yrs later still listening in 2020

  9. A.... ....

    great music.

  10. B.... M....

    The ultimate evolution of progressive rock. My favourite FNM song.

    Back in the day when MTV played music videos for at least 20 hours a day.

  14. s.... l....

    I like rock,this is just over produced rubbish

  15. I.... A....

    awesome album, after all these years...

  16. S.... K....

    I love Faith No More... I love the hell out of this song. I would love to hear a group like Guns N' Roses do a cover of _this song_ or Epic.

  17. Z.... D....

    When I bought angel dust I was also reading the "dark tower" books by Steven King. I would play this album over and over while reading those books and I know I came close to discovering a new world.

  18. S.... M....

    one of the best, love it!

  19. L.... S....

    Always speechless when i listen to FNM

  20. Q.... F....

    My God ...Mike Patton is hot 🥵 🔥

    Los 90's quedará signada por la cima de varias bandas como Faith no More y me considero afortunado de haber disfrutado y seguir disfrutando de canciones puras como esta...

    It shouldn't bother me, but it does...

  25. E.... B....

    Muito Fooodaaa!!!!!

  26. M.... M....

    I remember the day this debuted on MTV. FNM is my favorite band and Angel Dust is my favorite album. I hated the hair bands when I was in Junior high. These guys changed everything for me.

  27. S.... S....

    Mike patton's got more vocal talent than all of today's pop stars combined.

  28. M.... ....

    Bowser sound at 1:57

  29. K.... R....

    It didnt get any better than this in the 90's

  30. N.... S....

    Mike Patton and Layne Staley are definitely my two favourite voices/frontmen. Ever since The Real Thing was released I've been a fan and fuck Patton was/is a wet dream.

    N.... S....

    Yepp, patton, Stanley, Cornell!..and Phil lynot(thinLizzy).

  31. C.... S....

    Cara se eu não coloco Faith no more na minha play minha prima tati me bate. Mas não precisa gatinha, também adoro.
    Andy S. Cátia S.
    👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

  32. d.... c....

    They made Angel Dust to counteract the huge success that the real thing was....they honestly didn't think Angel Dust would be successful at all..

  33. S.... F....

    It shouldn’t bother me... but it DOES!

  34. M.... M....

    "It shouldn't bother me, it shouldn't bother me but it but it but it does!"😋🤘

    heiarachy spread out on the nightstand!, my, uppers, downers, sleepers and in-betweeners(pillBottles) lined up next to my bed! lol, love it! 👍, no one paints a picture like mikes lyrics..

  36. k.... b....

    why do the comments disappeared?

    k.... b....

    Good question

  37. R.... ....

    Most underrated song EVER and way before it's time.

    R.... ....

    It shouldn't bother me....

  38. c.... X....

    Canta bien Keanu Reaves

  39. S.... 0....

    Cause when he dies, he'l become something more than dead!, he'll become, A LEGEND!!.....edit", also, "last to know", is criminaly underated, the delivery of those lyrics, to that melody! Fkn awesome!.. 👍😎☝️

  40. J.... F....

    Reading the comments on this video you'd think Mike Patton was the only guy in the band.

  41. R.... ....

    Most underrated song EVER and I like more that way.

  42. M.... M....

    If only those soldiers could have been saved by...a Bionic Commando.

  43. D.... A....

    2019, so long ago I bought this album in 1992, and yet this song is still about life, but the message has been lost on the masses...

  44. M.... T....

    Hard to believe Mike Patton shit in axel roses orange juice

  45. S.... S....

    There is no one who could better patton's voice in all of rock.

  46. s.... n....

    Gosh... Mike was SO beautiful 💘

  47. T.... ....

  48. O.... Q....

    Tremenda banda que con este álbum todavía influye en bandas del '10. Increíble!!!

  49. J.... S....

    O tempo que dava para ouvir as Fms nas rádios.

  50. J.... S....

    2019 Brasil

  51. S.... E....

    Almost a strong precursor or something of the sort to Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" meets HELLBOY this music video is.

  52. B.... P....

    Angel Dust is my primary go-to template for my own approach to song writing, other than my own.

  53. C.... B....

    Maravilhoso pois uma banda que se encaixa perfeitamente em todas as gerações...realmente um épico

    C.... B....

    Essa banda é foda,os caras praticamente criaram o nu metal

  54. D.... L....

    Hey Mike, I still rock that hairstyle to this day!

  55. G.... H....

    I wouldn’t mind if he strangled me to death wearing those black gloves.

  56. w.... s....

    I think that the beauty must go. Then, all that is left is the core, the scars, a rough gem. Beauty is a curse, a dog on chains. Once it s gone, you are a free Wolf ;0)

  57. F.... E....

    He was very beautiful, but it is a pity that the beauty is gone

  58. w.... s....

    ' the little nothings that keep me thinking that someday, i might beat you, but i ll just keep my mouth shut ' waouw.

  59. w.... s....

    Old souls, there is something about them you recognize instantly. A presence, something eery. No matter the physical age, you can see there is something very ancient looking at this world, behind and through their eyes.

  60. M.... P....

    I was just a little poser who got a rush from this music

  61. A.... G....

    I just came here because The Darkness told me to do so

  62. M.... B....

    Pequena vitoria nome de minha filha

  63. C.... S....

    Faith no more é uma das bandas favoritas da Cátia. Ai de mim não incluir na playlist do quebrando tudo. Ela me quebra a cara kkkkkkkkkkkk

  64. H.... N....

    Mike Patton or Maynard James Keenan, ah ah???

  65. S.... C....

    You still wont hear....

  66. L.... D....

    🇧🇷 Nice 🔉😉

  68. T.... S....

    Does it seem to anyone else that the '90s just kept trying to re-create this video?

  69. a.... c....

    Is that a young benedict cumberbatch?

  70. l.... -....

    Zorra!!Bons tempos do Colégio da Bahia-Central...De lenhaaaar!!

  71. s.... 7....

    For such an amazing song the music video let's it down. The song is packed with energy but the video is the opposite. I'd rather have them running around stage jumping up and down

  72. I.... S....

    Sempre pelas manhãs antes de ir a escola por volta das 6 ou 7 da manhã eu assistia esse vídeo na MTV Brasil. Nunca me esquecerei pois era o horário que eu estudava ..saudades do tempo de escola. Adoro essa música. ;)

  73. S.... S....

    Someone please upload an isolated vocals of this song.

  74. R.... O....

    Grandioso!

  75. C.... R....

    Muito bom o som deles

  76. C.... S....

    Eu amo Rock!!!!!! Faith no more tudo de bom. No embalo... apagou a luz aí?

  77. S.... S....

    Still find hard to believe rhcp sold over 80 million records and faith no more was all about a couple of albums. Mike patton has insane vocal talent whereas keidis is an ordinary singer. Talent doesn't guarantee success, it depends on many other factors. A fine example

  78. D.... D....

    Greatest video fuckin ever!

  79. M.... C....

    Mike Patton is God.....fight me

  80. G.... W....

    They spent way too much money on this video.

  81. A.... L....

    Uncanny. The final verse could have been meant for Field Marshal Haig himself. As Clint said in TGTBATU, .I ain't never seen so many men wasted so badly. Bravo Mr Patton and FNM!

  82. K.... C....

    The best. Michael Patton!!!! Love you🧘🏿‍♀️😴

  83. A.... ....

    this may have been the 2nd track of the LP. was very impressed with it on mtv. surprised it wasnt a bigger album overall.

  84. I.... W....

    One of the great albums.

  85. N.... ....

    YOU STILL WON'T HEAR.

  86. b.... i....

    The “Who Cares A Lot” best of album came out when I was in 9th grade. I had been into music in a big way for a few years by then but I wanted to get into something more original and unique sounding... boy did I find it in FNM!

    Still a band I keep coming back to. I mean who the hell goes from smooth jazz to funk, to hip hop and metal?

    Faith No More do :)

  87. P.... A....

    Do caralho.brasil

  88. P.... T....

    Pqp que som!

  89. S.... L....

    Does anyone know that Mike Patton is actually Johnny Depp in disguise? Ha! Ha!

  90. A.... B....

    huup huup huup huup huup huup

  91. M.... B....

    ❤❤❤❤❤❤

  92. F.... I....

    Angel dust is one of my top 3 favorite CDs of all time..

  93. M.... T....

    if i speak at one constant volume and one constant pitch and one constant rythmn right into your ear, you still won`t hear, you still won`t hear

  94. A.... ....

    Pure genius

  95. S.... S....

    You still won't hear....

  96. P.... ....

    If you truly give them a chance and listen to every FNM song, even their covers.... musical arrangements and with Mike’s vocal rage and range: utter brilliance!!! 👌🏽 I still love and appreciate them very much. They are to me, the epitome of musical geniuses.
