This track is equal part "gub in the face with a thrift whack" and "if you put that there, its gonna get trod on".
Its all about what if the Harry Bo Kid was like somehow a prize fighter and would write a song, right, all about how he is one.
lyrics
they trained me well, candy cane bootcamp
they trained me well, hikes in the forest
they trained me well, candy floss mountain
they trained me well, i'm the harry bo kid
they trained me well, executive bloodsports
they trained me well, raindrops and mintshine
they trained me well, sonar is less than
they trained me well, i'm a fizzy prize fighter
