about

"In a way, this is the rawest song on the mixtape..."

lyrics

Dry times and hard luck
I count ‘em all one by one I can’t stand the sun
I’m a vampire, flesh in the Mud
You look like, you like a little trouble
an antidote to your boredom
the need to feel all real important
Flashlight’s on you

Chorus:
Looky looky little cookie you ain't so hard
Once you get a little soggy you’ll just be crumbs Looky Looky little cookie you ain’t so tough
When those snakes take a bite outta you

All the things that money can buy
Won’t stop these vultures from taking your eyes We’re looking for someone to try
And the pickings thin, you better travel light

Chorus:
Looky looky little cookie you ain't so hard
Once you get a little soggy you’ll just be crumbs Looky Looky little cookie you ain’t so tough
When those snakes take a bite outta you

Don’t test your marbles if the crack like pavement These hounds hunt for their own entertainment you’re a fish out the bowl
Go back to your glass homes

Chorus:
Looky looky little cookie you ain't so hard
Once you get a little soggy you’ll just be crumbs Looky Looky little cookie you ain’t so tough
When those snakes take a bite outta you

The Passion Of
by SPECIAL INTEREST

supported by 7 fans who also own “Hooky”

It’s refreshing. They are a solid Punk band who’s not afraid to make people dance. Special Interest understands that PunkRock and Disco are the best lovers. The Passion Of is passionate sh*tkickers making great sounds with a spirt of genuine activism. It’s on my top 5 releases of 2020. DxNxxL
