I The Mighty - The Hound And The Fox Lyrics






No sleep for the sick! Been stayin' up too late
Draining out the chemicals, trying not to make mistakes
Little do they know that any given day
I'll expose all their hypocrisies
Express my inner rage

Oh tell me this
If you can say it to the public
Why can't you say that shit to your kids?
Don't act like money's not the factor
You're an actor

And it would blow everybody's mind
If they could see just what lies behind
The velvet curtain
The office door
I'll give them no choice
I'll give them no choice

I can't catch my breath! Been working to the bone
Dottin' on all the "I's" and crossin' every "t" I own
This ain't pullin' thread... No, baby this is war
I'll be the cog to end their cash machine
They'll rue the day the hound came to their door

The real crooks ain't wearin' ski masks
No, they're walkin' around in suits
They feed us lies in American wrapping
They're just acting

And it would blow everybody's mind
(I wish it didn't have to come to this)
If they could see just what lies behind
(I wish I didn't have to make a mess)
The velvet curtain, the office door
(But I've got no choice)
I'll give them no choice

And it would blow everybody's mind
(I wish it didn't have to come to this)
If they could see just what lies behind
(I wish I didn't have to make a mess)
The velvet curtain, the office door
(But I've got no choice)
I'll give them no choice

I'll give them no choice

I'm gonna blow everybody's mind
(I wish it didn't have to come to this)
If they could see just what lies behind
(I wish I didn't have to make a mess)
The velvet curtain, the office door
(But I've got no choice)
I'll give them no choice

I'm gonna blow everybody's mind
If they could see just what lies behind
The velvet curtain, the office door
I'll give them no choice

I've got my voice

I The Mighty The Hound And The Fox Comments
  1. J.... M....

    Why is this their only song in this style? I think that this particular sound has a lot of potential especially because it's a musical niche that hasn't really been filled. Seriously if you google search I The Mighty all of the results are people trying to find more songs like this which is near impossible. What I'm saying is MORE PLEASE! 😍

  2. V.... K....

    Thank God this version exists. The original is pretty terrible.

  3. T.... g....

    This song is proof that sometimes simple instruments work the best.

  13. L.... B....

    Anyone know some other good songs in this jazzy style?

  14. M.... S....

    [Verse 1]
    No sleep for the sick
    Been stayin' up too late
    Draining out the chemicals
    Trying not to make mistakes
    Little do they know that any given day
    I'll expose all their hypocrisies
    And let out my rage

    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    Oh, tell me this:

    [Pre-Chorus]
    And it would blow everybody's mind
    If they could see just what lies behind
    The velvet curtain, the office doors

  23. D.... Y....

    holy hell i have to cover this! ITM never fails to impress man, its crazy

  24. C.... W....

    They reimagined their own song and somehow made it sound like a cover from a totally different band. Very cool.

  35. j.... ....

    I really want to get into jazz music, I really like the jazz feel of this song. Any jazz fans have any nice recommendations for me to start listening to?

  36. P.... ....

    The reincarnation of Sinatra?

  37. I.... F....

    What genres does this cover?

  38. e.... M....

    I looped this for about two hours and I regret nothing. This is so good

  39. S.... G....

    Awesome.

  40. M.... M....

    Low key reminds me of panic at the disco

  41. S.... ....

    Recommend me some Jazz things like that, please!!

  42. P.... D....

    This is SO good. Could that trumpet solo be 4 bars longer please?!?!?!

  43. X.... ....

  47. K.... Q....

    This is amazing

  48. T.... ....

    Bloody love this new scar vibe! Deserve so much more recognition!

  49. L.... S....

    I don't know which song I like more from Oil in Water: Andrew's Song or this one...

  50. M.... ....

  58. H.... J....

    This is my favorite song from the EP.

  59. B.... A....

    WO HOHOHOHOHO
    BADASS

  60. E.... U....

    Lemme say this, I really love their appreciation for different types of music

  61. E.... B....

    I swear, they can't make a bad song or album. They've managed to 1up themselves EVERY TIME they've come out with something new. Call it biased, but theres a reason why they're my favorite band.

  62. D.... D....

    I've been a fan since their first release and have always felt they don't get the attention they deserve and this release just solidifies that. I'm so happy they were able to showcase all their talent and Brents vocal range for people who haven't heard his solo album seven. if I ever want inspiration, or to get out of my depression this is the band I go to. Brents lyrics and vocals have always had the power to help me through almost any situation, along with the genius that is the band itself. this song, in particular, shows us what true musicians are. you can say what you want about not liking the style of this song or any of the others off this ep but you can not say they did not flawlessly, and effortlessly execute each and every single genre they sought out to tackle with this reimagined songs. And that my friends, is what a true musician does. goddamnit I'm just so overwhelmed with the emotion these songs have filled me with thank you guys for giving our ears this pure bliss. And if anyone knows where I can purchase the vinyl or any other physical copy of this album please comment a link for me thank you.

  63. A.... R....

    This is amazing, and showcases how versatile Brent really is!

    A.... R....

    Anton Renfors you mean I The Mighty?

    A.... R....

    Elijah Fiest I meant to say Brent's voice, but yeah the entire band aswell of course

  64. A.... B....

    THIS IS INSANE

  65. D.... B....

    dis good

  66. Z.... G....

    everybody wants to be a cat

  67. L.... B....

    I have chills. Well you blew my mind

  68. b.... ....

    My reaction hearing this for the first time went from "Wait, what...?" to a shit-eating grin in the space of about 10 seconds.

  69. T.... B....

    scene garbage, with a jazz twist. don't get much gayer

    T.... B....

    the gayer the more i like it, bye hater

    T.... B....

    Garbage scene lyrics with a great instrumental and a cringey fanbase.

  70. v.... p....

    What to say? I fucking love this fucking band. I love every single thing they put out. Thank you, I the Mighty, for this beautiful piece.

  71. D.... P....

    I THE MIGHTY, YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!
    The first few seconds got me hooked. I was like, "Woah... are they for real..? HOLY SHIT, YEEEEESS!"

    Keep up the good work guys, and I will definitely be looking forward to your new album! 😁

  72. E.... ....

    2:18 god damn!!!!!

  73. H.... A....

    this is genius!

  74. M.... H....

    I love the way they've re-imagined these!

  75. J.... P....

    Snazzy and jazzy.🔥

  76. S.... S....

    I would love an album in this style, by far my favourite 😍😍

  77. K.... ....

    I really want an album where they just do this, it would be so sick, I freaking love jazz and music that sounds like it's straight from the 1920s-50s

    K.... ....

    This song is what turned me into I the mighty and I can't look away!

    K.... ....

    Listen to some Reign of Kindo. If you do not mind some proggy/metal elements you should definitely give a listen to Thank You Scientist.

    K.... ....

    YESSSSS. Thank You Scientist introduced me to the addictive elements of prog rock and I can't get enough

    K.... ....

    Royal Crown Revue

    K.... ....

    Big bad voodoo daddy is also a really good band!!

  78. B.... G....

    This is perfect.

  79. a.... h....

    Sinatra must be slow clapping forever...

    a.... h....

    I see what you did there

    a.... h....

    T.... O....

    I bet you keep count of how many internet arguments you've won.

This is fantastic and such a great change to the scene nowadays! Definitely feeling inspired by this release right now

    C.... ....

    I love you tho
