Folds, Ben - One Angry Dwarf And 200 Solemn Faces Lyrics






September '75, I was 47 inches high
My mom said by Christmas I would have
A badass mother GI Joe for your little minds to blow
I still got beat up after class

Yeah, now I'm big and important
One angry dwarf and 200 solemn faces are you
If you really want to see me
Check the papers and the TV
Look who's tellin' who what to do
Kiss my ass goodbye

Don't give me that bullshit, you know who I am
I'm your nightmare little man
Vic, you stole my lunch money, made me cry
Jane, remember second grade?
Said you couldn't stand my face
Rather than kiss me
You said you'd rather die

I'm big and important
One angry dwarf and 200 solemn faces are you
If you really want to see me
Check the papers and the TV
Look who's tellin' who what to do
No, kiss my ass goodbye

You'll be sorry one day
Yes you will, yes you will
You shouldn't push me around
'Cause I will, yes I will
You will be sorry when I'm big
Yes you will, yes you will
You will be sorry

Now I'm big and important
One angry dwarf and 200 solemn faces are you
If you really want to see me
Check the papers and the TV
No, look who's tellin' who what to do
Kiss my ass

Kiss my ass
Kiss my ass goodbye now
Kiss my ass
Kiss my ass goodbye now

Kiss my ass
Kiss my ass goodbye now
Kiss my ass
Kiss my ass goodbye now

September '75, I was 47 inches high
September '75
September '75

Folds, Ben One Angry Dwarf And 200 Solemn Faces Comments
  1. A.... ....

    I'll always love how in pretty much any instance where Ben is expected to pretend to play piano along to a track, he'll do the most intentionally shitty job of it leaving the video editor to cobble together something that makes it still look somewhat like he's actually playing the song

  20. M.... ....

    going to walk in to work today to tell my boss he can kiss my ass.

  21. T.... L....

    I'm from the same town as these guys

  22. K.... 7....

    Saw Benny play a few months ago, I so badly wanted to hear this song live but alas he kept to more of his solo work.

  23. J.... K....

    Happy birthday Ben Folds!

  24. R.... J....

    That nerd is getting revenge with his fancy piano & huge paychecks.
    Awesome! The best revenge is when you don't even have to lift a finger. Except to play that piano.

    R.... J....

    His bully must have became a cop??

  25. B.... F....

    i like his playing

  26. E.... p....

    Ben does a killer tiny desk

  27. K.... S....

    This song, god damn. It makes me want to go back in time to grade school and punch every bully I ever met in the face.

  28. L.... E....

    Hell of musician... Ben's from my home town Winston Salem

  29. D.... S....

    Ben looks kinda like Jacksfilms here

  30. s.... ....

    dat bassline

  31. J.... S....

    This was the first song I heard of his. Still one of my favorites. Catchy and creative.

  32. L.... W....

    I still remember how great they were live. Sounds amazing.

  33. A.... S....

    school shooter song

  34. D.... F....

    I wish I could play piano half as well as this, I'd get laid every night.

  35. C.... C....

    Kiss my ass!

  36. a.... ....

    I hear Paul McCartney in this song style.

  37. H.... B....

    holy crap he's good on that thing

  38. H.... B....

    the title of this song sums up my life pretty well

  39. S.... R....

    Piano never sounded so rock & roll. DAYUM!!

  40. D.... C....

    donald trump. what an asshole

  41. W.... B....

    Ben karate chopping the piano at 2:23 is the best.

  42. A.... G....

    My favourite song for my this love

  43. �.... ....

    Still watching this in 2017?

  44. �.... ....

    いいね!

  45. C.... L....

    3am on MTV in 1997... I woke up half asleep with my TV on. Saw this. Fan for life.

    C.... L....

    Same here. Eerily around the same time.

  46. e.... s....

    Hadn't played this in years and just put three on my iphone (after loosing the cassette so many years ago) Man, memories indeed.

  47. G.... C....

    Ben channelling Jerry Lee Lewis!

  48. p.... M....

    If you can say nothing else, the man just destroys a piano.

  49. c.... l....

    I have shared this with so many folks-was bullied, and LOVE IT-thanks Ben!

  50. N.... Z....

    Fuck mozart we got benfolds (some say the piano was played so hard it was in hospital for 7 months)

  51. J.... ....

    The main piano riff of this song sounds very similar to an old 50's piano song called "The Old Piano Roll Blues". (I remember having to learn it when I took piano lessons as a kid). Not saying he "ripped it off" -- musicians borrow chords, riffs and melody ideas from each other all the time and make something completely new. Just wonder if he was consciously making an interpolation of it or if he had never heard it before?

  52. G.... W....

    The 'Jimi Hendrix' of the Piano.

  53. S.... B....

    Here because of Crossmen's Front Ensemble audition packet. Anyone else?

    S.... B....

    Yeah playing the tremoloharp requires a lot of skill. I started learning this piece in August so I had it down by like two weeks.

    S.... B....

    300BPM, no hands

    S.... B....

    I am trying to push 340 bpm. Front ensemble literature has advanced so much in the past 30 years, it's crazy.

    S.... B....

    Thank you for your service

    S.... B....

    Evan Chilton 1 in 25 tremoloharpists WILL die as a result of practicing One Angry Dwarf.

  54. H.... ....

    Seeing him for the first time tonight! super excited

  55. A.... ....

    such an underrated band. its so sad they only have 9500 subs

    A.... ....

    Ben Fold's net worth is more than the singer for Weezer.

    A.... ....

    He also has almost one million followers on Twitter. People just don't care for him on YouTube.

  56. t.... s....

    just saw him last night in Charleston, wv. great show even without the band. worked the crowd all night. great time had by all

  57. M.... M....

    My gosh! He is THE master pianist of my world!!! And the lyrics! The vocals! I love Ben Folds!!! Hot Damn!!!! *I seem to be saying that in every comment regarding Ben Folds demonstration of his mastery of the piano!*. He performs with so much PASSION! The piano is like an extension of his body instead of an instrument! I can't believe that the mild-mannered, super serious judge from The Sing-Off is such a force of nature on stage!!!

  58. A.... W....

    is glenn close in this video?

    A.... W....

    yeah seriously

  59. j.... ....

  73. M.... P....

    This song always rocks my socks! ! ! !!!! !!  !!   !! ! !!! !

  74. N.... D....

    Shitty lyrics, great melody.

    N.... D....

    @Nitron DSP Someone doesn't get the BFF humor . . .

    N.... D....

    Whaaaaaaa?

    N.... D....

    +Nitron DSP Excellent lyrics.

    N.... D....

    Lick me hes awesome

  75. M.... T....

    Because the gravity inverts on the other side of the hole, if you dropped something in the hole, would it float in the middle forever? :D

    M.... T....

    +Miles Treleven no it would just drop. They're all glued to the ceiling

    M.... T....

    if the gravity inverts it would fall back and forth till something stopped it

    M.... T....

    @Matthew Kolva I was thinking that it would fall back and forth, but because of air resistance it would eventually just stop and hover in-between

    M.... T....

    +Matthew Kolva you're absolutely right

    M.... T....

    +Miles Treleven: "If you're wondering how he eats and breathes and other science facts (La la la)/Just repeat to yourself 'It's just a show, I should really just relax.'"

  76. S.... ....

    One Angry Man and a Piano.

    S.... ....

    no, just no

  77. S.... ....

    Awesome!

  78. A.... ....

    This song makes me think of Tyrion.

    A.... ....

    I was just thinking that! It pretty much fits him in King's Landing.

    A.... ....

    +Anaryl That is a great idea. Before Game of Thrones I'd thought it would have been a great video if Ben Stiller sang (or lip synced) it, it seemed to fit his younger self.

    A.... ....

    Hah! I think that exact thought crossed through my mind when I first heard it. This is like his theme song.

  79. o.... ....

    Three BF5 shares in a row.  I make no apologies.

    o.... ....

    I say

    No one gives a fuck

  80. B.... T....

    Ben Folds is the best musician ever. Him and his band Ben Folds Five.

    B.... T....

    Got to see Ben (solo). Great show.

    B.... T....

    TENACIOUS D is the best band ever.

    B.... T....

    +L. Cash The Queers.

  81. M.... ....

    good god could a song be more annoying

    M.... ....

    Refer to: Hello Kitty- Avril Lavigne
    Iron Maiden- Iron Maiden (damn good song but repetitive as all hell)
    Family Reunion- Blink 182

    M.... ....

    listen to him sing it on npr then re-evaluate your opinion

  82. C.... M....


    Great song!

  83. S.... D....

    This song seriously makes me think about Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) in Game of Thrones.

  84. b.... ....

    YES! for all the shorties that got out of small town nowhere and made something of themselves! 

    b.... ....

    is a sentiment taken from an interpretation of lyrics, perhaps colored by a listener's own experiences, that serious for you? 

  85. K.... ....

    RAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  86. s.... a....

    about 15 years ago, this was my first blast of BF5; being a bullied kid, I LOVED IT!  (and Whatever and Ever amen still kicks ass!)

    s.... a....

    no one cares about your petty story m8

    s.... a....

    +McLovin You and no one cares about your piss poor attempt to troll, douche bag.

    s.... a....

    Also, maybe look up the definition for "petty" followed by "irony" and "hypocrite"

    s.... a....

    +say astra im on his side. Could care less.

  87. R.... R....

    NEVER SAY BEN FOLDS is anything like Jimmu Hendrix ben folds is WAY better than that!!!!!!!!

  88. M.... C....

    At 2:30 absolutely ZERO fucks were given

  89. M.... C....

    :O its all so clear now XD

  90. P.... S....

    "September '75"

  91. d.... ....

    Hendrix.

  92. s.... ....

    If toby turner played piano!!!?!!?!?!??!?!????!!

  93. N.... B....

    but when she pokes her head through it emerges on the side where gravity it going the other way...so there's no continuity error at all. It would be worse if her pigtails dangled up in relation to the band's clothes, the instrument cables etc...

  94. H.... ....

    Oh my God! This song rocks so hard, haven't heard it since high school...

  95. J.... R....

    Fucking brilliant

  96. D.... L....

    The girls pigttails are hanging down when she goes through the hole, then normal when her head is through the hole.

    your editing lacks continuity ben folds.... you brilliant brilliant man.

  97. P.... A....

    just brilliant piano playing ... they say it all and i wish they would sill keep playing.....
