Hug Scream Lyrics & Chords By Hank Green

Sometimes you've gotta do
Something you don't wanna do
It penatrates, it terrifies
Straight down deep into you
But you can't run and hide
Or curl up and cry
No you can't let that thing be in charge of how you live your life
Well I've searched for years and years for just one thing
That'll make me feel OK before I get on stage and sing

And that's the hug scream, hug scream
Everybody hug scream
Gotta hug and a scream
Will you do it with me?
Gotta hug scream
Yeah hug scream, hug scream
Everybody hug scream
Gotta hug and a scream
Will you do it with me?
Gotta hug scream

Hug scream with anyone
It's cathardic and it's fun
If you wanna try it out right now
We'll tell you how it's done
Chests together with a thud
One arm's lower, one's above
Wrap those arms around each other, this part's just a normal hug
Now hold this awesome person oh so near
And scream your loudest scream but not directly in their ear

And that's the hug scream, hug scream
Everybody hug scream
Gotta hug and a scream
Will you do it with me?
Gotta hug scream
Yeah hug scream, hug scream
Everybody hug scream
Gotta hug and a scream
Will you do it with me?
Gotta hug scream

Hug screams were forced on the island of Atlantis
in the debths of a volcano where a purple flame still dances
a race of armadillo people worshipped magic lions
But they feared their dingy lair so they never went inside them
Till two of them one night overcame that fearsome fright
By screaming out their armadillo lungs while holding tight
The lion then transformed them, they became magic through and through
And from their story we learn when you're afraid there's just one thing to do

hug scream, hug scream
Everybody hug scream
Gotta hug and a scream
Will you do it with me?
Gotta hug scream
Yeah hug scream, hug scream
Everybody hug scream
Gotta hug and a scream
Will you do it with me?
Gotta hug scream
Hug scream
Hug scream
Hug scream
