A firecracker, they sell
They bought a dozen big shells
Ash and saltpeter, it smelled
The smoke is in my way

A happy new year, I wished
A noisy place; not a bliss
I'm overwhelmed by all this,
The smoke is in my way

Fools end up maimin'
Blood pools, skin was tearin'
E.R., victims yelling
So much schadenfreude, baby

Hey, Happy New Year,
The noise's crazy
This midnight madness
Is daunting, baby

It's hard to look right,
At their pinky,
Them injured fingers
Are bleeding, maybe?

Hey, Happy New Year,
The noise's crazy
This midnight madness
Is daunting, baby

Now, all the crazy boys
End up wailing
So don't be stupid
Be careful, kiddies

My Roman candle, it glows
Their home-made cannons, they blow
Are smuggled 'crackers a steal?
But they don't make my day

Your resolutions, I sneered
Insincere, that's for real
I find it bollocks and stupid
Now you're in my way

Fools end up maimin'
Blood pools, skin was tearin'
E.R., victims yelling
So much schadenfreude, baby

Hey, Happy New Year,
The noise's crazy
This midnight madness
Is daunting, baby

It's hard to look right,
At their pinky,
Them injured fingers
Are bleeding, maybe?

Hey, Happy New Year,
The noise's crazy
This midnight madness
Is daunting, baby

Now, all the crazy boys
End up wailing
So don't be stupid
Be careful, kiddies

Now how's it feel that you've end up
Real blown up so bad
Real blown up so bad
Real blown up so, so bad

Now how's it feel that you're end up
Real blown up so bad
Real blown up so bad
Real blown up so, so bad

It's hard to look right,
At their pinky,
Them injured fingers
Are bleeding, maybe?

Hey, Happy New Year,
The noise's crazy
This midnight madness
Is daunting, baby

Now, all the crazy boys
End up wailing
So don't be stupid
Be careful, kiddies

Now how's it feel that you've end up
In E.R. so bad
In E.R. so bad
In E.R. so, so bad

Now how's it feel that you've end up
In E.R. so bad
And you should know that

So Happy New Year!
