The Lyrics

"Skin me, Br'er Fox, snatch out my eyeballs, tear out my ears by the roots, and cut off my legs, but do please, Br'er Fox, don't fling me in that briar patch!"
Please shut up, oh, oh-ooh, shut up
Shut up, oh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I know the plan you're playin', it's clear what plan you're playin' but it won't work this time
'Cause I know you're fakin', not as stupid as you'd like (oh-oh)
Might cast me as the villain, so sure that I'm the villain and therefore I'm the type
To be a total sadist, so once told of your one weakness, I'd gloat
That I'd try (I'd try) and toss (and toss) you t'wards (towards), oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
A lot (a lot) of what (of what, yeah) you would loathe (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh), oh-oh
But I'm (but I'm) more bright (more bright), oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
"I will die, I will die" you said, I've got a strong suspicion that that isn't so

Bet you've got a briar power
What you're claimin' is your weakness will make your strength tower
Oh-oh yeah, you've got a briar power
But it isn't gonna fool me, hell no (oh-oh)

Can call me a sceptic (mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm), I know I'm a sceptic 'cause we've gone through this shite
So many times, I've checked it, the same result time after time after time (oh-oh)
So yes, I'm a sceptic (mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm), an absolute sceptic of this tactic you pull
Gonna snap your neck hard tonight, crack your back in twine to say "Goodbye" to you

Bet you've got a briar power
Might be on your knees and beggin', know this type of cower
Oh-oh yeah, you've got a briar power
I'm wise to your nonsense, I'm not a dope (I'm not a dope, oh-oh)

You got, yeah, you got, no lie, you got, yeah, you got a briar (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
You got, yeah, you got, no lie, you got, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
You got, oh, you got, no lie, you got, yeah, you got a briar (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
You've got, oh, you've got, no lie, just a pile of bullshit, won't fall for it, no how

You've got a briar power
Can understand why you're mistaken, fallen for that cower
Oh yeah, you've got a briar power
I think I'll just take my knife and have myself a bloody shower
Wait, it's gone wrong, nothin' can make you bleed
Bones are so strong, shot you over and over
You asshole, reverse psychology
Doubled down on, now I'm lost, ee-oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh)

Reverse psychology is one thing. Reverse-reverse psychology? Now that's a skill.
