King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Muddy Water Lyrics
It's hot, it's mean, summer, to me
Green grass, won't last, sky blue, me too
Helicopter flying over shark bait, shark bite
Cover up, sunburn, leather skin, heatstroke
Make me dash across the amber coals to meet the sea
Give me over to the river, my place that loves me
Gum leaves and tea trees, the river is immortal
I'm parched, I'll cark the salty spray arrests
And no amount of bottled water, could bottle the stress
I think I’ll stop breathing and sink, I'm a boy, I'm not a buoy
I'm paralyzed, I'm paranoid, out of my element
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water
It's hot, it's mean, the beach, to me
Green grass, won't grow, sky blue, me too
I don't care for cricket, and I don’t care for waves
And I don't care for amour propre or sandy bays
So I'll jump into the river when you jump into the sea
I feel the hungry fishes come to nibble at my feet
I lay upon the driftwood underneath the willow tree
And let the muscle men on the beach, bask in vanity
I shall choose this life for me
Any day, anyway, any day, anyway, any day, anyway
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water

ilove this fuckin genius band
i fucking love the lyrics
This song and the great chain of being have been blocked in my country on YouTube. I had them on playlists. That's what it said when I clicked on them.🥺😢😡🤬
USA
ya'll should check out Zack Mexico!!!
I couldn't describe how much i love this band
Yo prefiero el agua puerca.
Daily Inspiration
This should be the studio version! Holy fuck this is good
This is one of their songs that sounds so much better live.
Hopefully will get to hear this live tomorrow at the joy theater in New Orleans
Update. Didn’t get this live on Tuesday. This was my first time seeing KGATLW live. All I can say is HOLY SHIT. This fellas changed my life. I was a huge fan before seeing them but I don’t even know what I am anymore because I am that obsessed. I met all of the guys except stu and cookie. All were cool and so nice. The live performance they put on was absolutely insane. I used to say that I loved pond and tame impala as much as I love gizz but now that has changed. These other bands don’t even compare to gizz. Gizz for life!!!! Best concert I’ve ever been to!!
The backing vocals bring a whole new life to this track. SOLID
This song nearly gave me dysentery
i prefer the johny walker
this sounds way better than the album version
this sounds way better than the album version
So glad I got to hear this live last night ,they are incredibly good!
110% better than the studio release
The sound of freedom
ultra zappa-ish solo
this is the best version out there fuck the album

Did anyone notice how fast those drums are, like damn!
I prefer a marihuana
lizzard lives on a stone heated from the great sun
Blew my eardrums then my speakers
It's hot, it's mean, summer, to me
Green grass, won't last, sky blue, me too

❤💙💚💛🧡
This song is about anal
i prefer this version
Damn, this live version is so much better than the studio because of Ambrose vocal and Joey guitar solo.
Going in August!
KGATLW grew some Swedish horns and hoofs
Holy shit this song is good.
2:21
To the killer solo
I wanna be the drummer... no I wanna be the drummer. Ehh let's both be the drummer
Woow much, much better than the CD version...
Es verdad!
Amazing ! It sounds like Southern Italian Tarantella !!!!!
Holy Fuck!!! Ambrose's Vocals!!! 😍😍😍
wtf did i just find!?!?!?
The muddy water
a masterpiece
The best god damn band around homie
Salvation
I prefer the Joey Walker..
This version is the best one yet
I prefer the hot water
Do you think they prefer the muddy water?
Maybe some Kratom Tea, i guess
😩 these guys are beautiful!
Their music is magical 🧙♀️!
I can’t take it 🤤
This song is insane live... makes you want to throw yourself in the dirt and liquefy
Alice Bell yessssss 🤤
AWESOME song!!!!
AWESOME, TRULY AWESOME band!!!!!
💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 😃
Helena Meira totally agree!!!
Wonder why they decided to make Ambrose sing early instead of waiting for near the end of the song like in the original.
Because his voice is beautiful and we need to hear more of it.
Because they prefer the muddy water
Stu’s hoarseness in this performance (I’m assuming its bc of all the touring) gives this song quite a different feel.
Shinji Ikari it really does!
It sounds more dirtier!
I never find comments giving Lucas some love, i think he's a very low key guy but c'mon this bassline, might be repetitive, but it's sooooo smooth!
That's crazy I was just thinking that exact thing when I was watching the Fishing for Fishies video! Amazing Bassline through that one
His bass line is so common within Spanish music it comes of common but the dude nails it so hard it’s amazing
Joshua Jiménez Mars for the Rich on Infest the Rats Nest is where his time to shine came
@_ what about nate mendel from foo fighters for front runner for 'least stage presence'
audio mixer: stu mackenzie lmao he dont trust nobody
Hahahahaha, nu ma, guy had to do it himself to feel half satisfied, haha
he mixes all their live shows too lol
Stus vocals has gotten a lot better since I saw him live last year, what a great fucking band
I prefer the molly water.
I’ve paid no attention to this band.... my bad, time to catch up they are amazing
Good decision. You won't regret it.
How is it possible for a band to be this solid.
Lots and lots of practice.
I bet they are very dedicated and practice nonstop. no matter what style they are working in, the musicianship and technicality this band has is untouchable right now
synergy, talent, psychoactive substances
Full Performance!!
I prefer... The hot water :)
have you ever tried the muddy water?
I saw them live in austin. They played this, it was 10 minutes of "I PREFER THE MUDDY WATER" back and forth with the crowd and it was awesome.
Hoy fuck this is good!!
Gracias King Gizzard por salvar esta generación
God, they just keep offering better and better live performances. Amazing.
Btw, I think they should give Ambrose a little more vocal leadership, from time to time, I don't know if anyone agrees with me... 'cause he certainly has some really powerful voice; or I really like it a lot, at least.
Andrés Ríos If you like Amby’s vocals, just listen to The Murlocs. I think his place in Gizz in fine where it is, powerful backup vocals.
Haida, yeah, I do listen to The Murlocs, and a lot.
I actually try to listen to all of their side projects. But, although all of those projects always are very good and include excellent songs, I like them better all together on King Gizzard, 'cause, at least to me, sounds a bit better. Tougher, and full of energy.
Andrés Ríos I agree with you!
But it’s cool if he doesn’t because his band the murlocs are awesome and he shines
This session is fucking fire omfg
I fucking love this song!!
Man I was like 20 minutes into the epic full performance this morning when it suddenly disappeared off of youtube. Why KEXP? WHYYYY? ;_;
Bwaoaoaoaoaoao
Sea Shanty
It creeps me the fuck out when the singer has their lips on the actual microphone like back up sir
I´m waiting for the Full Perfomance
Me too. And the wait gets longer and longer. :(
Refreshing Youtube every 5 minutes
They finally uploaded it. :)
i prefer the cheryl waters
Actually, I don't.
Best performance of this KEXP set. It's like the Nuclean Fusion of the FMB KEXP set.
And the Digital Black of the MOTU KEXP set.
this song is SO MUCH BETTER live, but then again i'm a hardcore Ambrose dickrider so
Eye hole deep in muddy waters...
is Cookie okay?
He is... the one who knocks.
"It's not a phase, mom!!"
