Dickhead Lyrics

[Chorus]
Why're you being a dickhead for
Stop being a dickhead
Why're you being a dickhead for
You're just fucking up situations


Why're you being a dickhead for
Stop being a dickhead
Why're you being a dickhead for
You're just fucking up situations


[Verse 1]
Shiny floor, slippery feet
Lights are dim, my eyes can't meet
The reflection that turns my images
Upside down so I can see


Think you know everything
You really don't know nothing
I wish that you were more intelligent
So you could see that what you are doing is
So shitty
To me

Thirty five
People couldn't count
On two hands the amount of times you made me stop
Stop and think why are you being such a dickhead for
[Chorus]
Stop being a dickhead
Why're you being a dickhead for
You're just fucking up situations


Why're you being a dickhead for
Stop being a dickhead
Why're you being a dickhead for
You're just fucking up situations


[Verse 2]
Stop, no don't show
Just have a think before you
Will you, stop, no don't show
Just have a think before you

Will you stop, no don't show
Just have a think before you
Will you stop, don't show
Will you just have a think before you

[Bridge]
My brain and my bones don't want to take this anymore
No my brain and my bones don't want to take this anymore
No my brain and my bones don't want to take with this anymore
No my brain and my bones don't want to take this anymore, so

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Kate Nash say about "Dickhead"?
Genius Answer

Nash told AllAccess:

‘Dickhead’ is actually a girl that bullied me in high school. I got locked in a cupboard and when I went home, I wrote that song.

She spoke more about this incident to News Corp Australia:

I was 16 at that point. Girls – kids – can be mean. It was a power thing. It was done jokily, like it wasn’t a big deal, while I was locked in there just crying.
