Young Fathers - Toy Lyrics






I'm chasing

I'm chasing shadows in the gallows
Collecting what was stolen from me

I got ss-stammers and no manners I'm the man that's gonna play it for keeps
Oceanic cinematic appetite for something bigger than free

You lick it and you stick it
And it's kinda like the taste
Of everyting

Emaciated kinda wasted
Can't remember what the time in which we met

Somewhere in Tucson
I watched for one or two songs
Then I left

I give two cents and a dollar
For all the paranoia I forget
Well boredom is a killer
For me the sealer dealer
Now you're dead
(come on)

You paid your debt
You're playing dead
There's no respect

You're just a broken little toy
Silly little boy
Broken little toy
You're just a silly little boy

Lover, lover
We had a flutter
Now I make you shudder
I wonder if you ever think of me
Watching from the cupboard
You think I'm narcissistic
But if he's in the picture
Then I'll just be in the kitchen making tea
Do we agree on everything we discussed
Remember when we begun
I never meant to disrupt
You promised we'd stay in touch
I know I'm on the sidelines
But if you don't mind I'll stay
You can let me be your puppy dog
Leading you astray
Fuck

You just a broken little toy
Silly little boy
Broken little toy
You silly little boy
Juh-juh-juh-juh-juh-juh-juh-juh
You just a broken little toy
Silly little boy
Broken little toy
You silly little boy

Sold for what I get
I'm burning dirty money to light a cigarette
I'm not for sale
I'm not for rent
I never repent
Yes yes yes
I teach a class in sinning
I'm always winning
Just for you
Fictitious revenue
Sold for what I get
I'm burning dirty money to light a cigarette
I'm not for sale
I'm not for rent
I never repent
Yes yes yes
I teach a class in sinning
I'm always winning
Just for you
Fictitious revenue

You're just a broken little toy
You silly little boy
Broken little toy
You're just a silly little boy

    This has been on my running playlist since when I first listened to cocoa sugar upon its release. Not here because of a mentos commercial or wherever the fuck you people came from. And to those people brought here by whatever ad: listen to this album completely. Fucking do it. Redeem yourself.

    Доброго времени суток, славяне, кто от SMGO?

    N.... J....

    Я, о чем клип так и не понял, ну типа президент америки избалованный ребенок и все президенты просто марионетки... ЧТО ЗА ХУЙНЯ ВООБЩЕ

    N.... J....

    @JustRelax если смотреть именно на клип, то можно понять, что автор хочет нам сказать, что президенты всех стран ведут себя как дети.
    Вечно сруться из за каждой вещи и каждой мелочи.
    Принимают идиотские решения, делают полнейшие глупости и главное, из за этого страдает народ.
    Я вот так понял🤷‍♂️

  42. A.... M....

    Congrats on winning the Best Director Award @AMVFest #4. Amazing to watch again on the big screen!

  43. A.... C....

    Apple ain’t shit. They’ve been producing bangers since day ONE. Get on board kids

  53. a.... ....

    There is something hauntingly beautiful and satisfying yet terrifying about watching those armies marching in formation. Music is great over it.

  54. O.... S....

    Who know the real song please ?

    O.... S....

    The soundtrack behind look like another song.. could people tell me the original one

    O.... S....

    Outouma Sylla Apple Watch series 4

  55. f.... k....

    Apple Watch

  56. B.... B....

    Does anyone know the sample on this song? I’ve heard it before and it’s driving me crazy

  57. M.... N....

    It's kinda ironic that Apple chose this as a song for one of their commercials once you see the message of this song, isn't it?

  58. E.... F....

    Was watching football when a commercial came on with the song don't remember what they were shucking but thankfully captions was my own personal Shazam you guys are quite the Pumped Up Jam

    E.... F....

    Erik Finkel I’m guessing Apple Watch series 4

  59. I.... ....

    Apple somehow finds the best songs that are unpopular and then gets me into them XD

  60. A.... ....

    His voice reminds me a lot of Anthony Kiedis . Anybody else?

  61. g.... o....

    What a great song and vid why has this not been no 1

  62. P.... S....

    Rip anyone with epilepsy

  63. T.... 5....

    who actually knew about this song before the Apple ad?

  64. B.... o....

    Thats odd i started hearing young fathers like a week ago and i hated this song because it comes out on hulu every god dam comercial break i would roast the song alive and now that I realize it was them i still cant like it apple ruined it for me. Now when i hear the song i only envision rich douchebags taking time off in the middle of the week to go swim with their overpriced apple products...

  65. F.... H....

    What’s the meaning of this song?

  66. H.... ....

    Epilepsy warning in the beginning. Be careful guys 👍

  67. b.... ....

    why does this remind me of NERD

    b.... ....

    I agree. It has the same feeling as NERD.

  68. S.... R....

    Apple Watch?

  69. R.... ....

    Didn’t know these countries hated the US

  70. G.... K....

    Who else came from the apple ad

  71. M.... B....

    Apple watch 4

  72. T.... ....

    You need a seizure warning if you're going to use that much fucking strobing. Jesus christ.

  73. d.... ....

    reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  74. y.... e....

    MY EYES

  75. T.... D....

    Musicians must get giddy when Apple wants to use their song in a TV commercial = automatic hits and big spike in profits. Cool song and congrats to the artist to get Apple help.

  76. M.... S....

    First I heard this I thought it was Bloc Party.

  77. C.... ....

    Damn you Apple. DAMN YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!

  78. M.... B....

    Can someone explain the plot/story?

  79. G.... K....

    Sounds like TV on the Radio

    G.... K....

    People frustrate me with how simplistically they think sometimes. I've actually seen YF compared to multiple groups with black and white members: Massive Attack, Algiers, Gorillaz. The most ridiculous was Fun Boy Three. I haven't seen anyone compare them to Hootie and the Blowfish yet. 😒

    G.... K....

    Erline Andrews lol Algiers is a surprising one

    G.... K....

    It's that Spectrum Pulse guy on YouTube who made the Algiers comparison. I challenged him about it on Twitter. You can't take a reviewer seriously after they do something like that. 😒

    G.... K....

    To be honest, I've wondered if this is how racial discrimination works. You see black and white people in a group so your brain thinks they're more similar to other black/white groups than they actually are.

    G.... K....

    Erline Andrews Music critics and buffs should be able avoid to making confusing comparisons. I’ve seen it too often where music is mislabeled in order to draw a viewpoint for a potential listener.

    I think there’s an element of race there that works subconsciously too.

  80. T.... ....

    Okay but like does it blow anyone else's mind that APPLE chose a song by a not-super-well-known band that right now only has 376,000 views After the commercial? APPLE. APPLE.

    Fantastic song but that's racking my brain, answer Young Fathers! APPLE.

  81. p.... p....

    rofl epilepsu

  82. 3.... f....

    Its funny and true but ive been looking up apple songs on their ads since the ipod touch 2nd gen time is to short

  83. W.... F....

    straight outta keynote.

  84. B.... 3....

    This song harkens me back to "Wolf Like Me" By TV on the Radio. If you like this song, you'll probably really like that one too.

  85. B.... 3....

    Props to the child actors in this fantastic video. The really bring it home.

  86. D.... B....

    ❤🌌🌠

  87. C.... ....

    I’m getting epilepsy

  88. d.... ....

    White Stripes?

  89. J.... S....

    I can’t stop playing this song, too good not to

  90. m.... r....

    From Apple. Anyone?

  91. E.... A....

    chapeau 👏

  92. H.... a....

    Love it!!!!!! thank you apple 🙌🏻🙌🏻

  93. E.... C....

    Yo why does this remind me of trump so bad 😂

  94. a.... ....

    Who’s here after the sunday football game commercials

  95. j.... ....

    I guess I know whom it is about.
