The Who - Cousin Kevin [Intro]        [Verse 1] We’re on our own   cousin. All alone cousin Let’s think of a game to play now the grownups have all gone away You won’t be much fun being blind deaf and dumb But I’ve no one to play with today Do you know how to play hide-and-seek? To find me it would take you a week But tied to that chair you won’t go anywhere There’s a lot I can do with a freak [Pre-Chorus] How would you feel if I turned on the bath Ducked your head under and started to laugh? What would you do if I shut you outside To stand in the rain and catch cold so you die? [Chorus] I’m the school bully The classroom cheat The nastiest play-friend You ever could meet I’ll stick pins in your fingers And tread on your feet [Interlude]        [Verse 2] We’re on our own   cousin. All alone cousin Let’s think of a game to play now the grownups have all gone away You won’t be much fun being blind deaf and dumb But I’ve no one to play with today Do you know how to play hide-and-seek? To find me it would take you a week But tied to that chair you won’t go anywhere There’s a lot I can do with a freak [Pre-Chorus] Maybe a cigarette burn on your arm Would change your expression to one of alarm Drag you around by a lock of your hair Or give you a push at the top of the stairs [Chorus] I’m the school bully The classroom cheat The nastiest play-friend You ever could meet I’ll put glass in your dinner And spikes in your seat [Outro]

À propos de la chanson

La chanson met en scène un jeu malsain entre deux cousins, où l'un d'eux joue le rôle de l'agresseur. Il évoque des situations de cruauté et de moquerie, cherchant à divertir son public, même si cela implique de faire du mal à l'autre. Avec un ton provocateur, le "cousin" se vante de sa capacité à infliger de la douleur et à humilier, transformant des moments innocents de jeu en actes de torture psychologique. Le contexte se situe dans un environnement d'enfance où l'innocence est pervertie par des comportements de violence et de domination. Cette dynamique évoque des thèmes de souffrance, de déni de l'empathie et de l'abus de pouvoir, des réalités souvent présentes dans les relations entre enfants.
