Bully (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Jimmy introduces himself as a kid who ended up at Bullworth Academy because no other school wanted him. His family life isn’t great, and his mom basically abandoned him for her own break. He promises the principal he’ll behave, but he’s already warning people that even though he’s small, he’s tough. He makes friends with Gary and Pete, but quickly learns you can’t survive alone in this kind of place—you need allies. He even learns some fighting tricks from unexpected people, like a homeless man, and he starts taking charge by protecting nerds, though he expects payment in return. Jimmy is showing that he isn’t picking sides just to be nice; he’s playing smart to build influence. He doesn’t like bullying, but if anyone targets him, he’ll fight back hard. Slowly, he begins earning respect from different groups, even bullies, by showing he won’t bow his head to anyone. He makes it clear that in this school, problems don’t get solved by teachers or rules—they’re settled outside, with fists. Jimmy’s attitude is all about balance: he doesn’t go looking for trouble, but if it comes his way, he’ll hit back harder. By the end, he’s already setting himself up as someone people can’t ignore.

[Chorus]
Here Jimmy talks about how Bullworth Academy is filled with kids who are supposed to be “the best” but are actually the worst troublemakers. He makes it clear that his name already carries weight, and people won’t like him because he takes what he wants without hesitation. The school is run on power and intimidation, and he’s grabbing control of it. To him, school feels like a battlefield where every student has to choose: either be the one bullied or join forces with the one doing the bullying.

[Verse 2]
Now Jimmy is dealing with the preppy kids, who see him as their enemy. He challenges them, saying they’ll lose if they go up against him, and he shrugs off their claims that he’s become “King.” He also steps into messy drama involving relationships, like when a guy’s girlfriend cheats, but Jimmy refuses to let things spiral too far. Instead of getting stuck with relationship problems, he focuses on strengthening his power. He doesn’t want to waste time fighting over girls; he’d rather build loyalty and control over groups. Then the focus shifts to the jocks. Jimmy plans to pull them in as well, adding them to his growing list of allies. He reassures the nerds that he’s not using them cruelly—he’s working with them because they share goals. By combining these different groups, Jimmy sets up an alliance that makes him strong enough to challenge anyone. His mindset is practical: unite the outcasts and prove to the whole school who the real boss is.

[Bridge]
Jimmy comes up with the idea to sabotage a big sports game, which shows he doesn’t just fight with fists—he also uses strategy. By messing with the athletes on their own turf, he proves he’s smarter and tougher than them. He wears disguises, pulls tricks, and still comes out on top. Once again, he declares himself the winner, shouting proudly that he’s the one truly running Bullworth.

[Verse 3]
Here Jimmy wonders if being the king of the school has gone to his head. But then chaos breaks out again, and he realizes Gary is behind it. Jimmy feels betrayed and furious, ready to confront him directly. Every group turns against him, but instead of backing down, he challenges them one by one, showing he’s still unshaken. He demands Gary stop hiding and face him, making it clear he wants to end things once and for all.

[Pre-Chorus]
Jimmy directly calls Gary out as a liar and manipulator. He doesn’t want more tricks or schemes—he just wants to settle things through a fight. Gary may have been preparing for this, but Jimmy believes the truth about his lies is now exposed to the whole school. He knows it’s time to move on, but before he leaves, he warns that if anyone still has a problem, they can settle it outside.

[Chorus]
Jimmy once again describes Bullworth as a place full of messed-up students who pretend to be the best but are really troublemakers. He emphasizes that everyone already knows his name and his reputation. He makes it clear he’s always been the kind of person who gets what he wants, and the school is no different. Control is in his hands now, and he sees school life as a constant war. He pushes others to make a choice: either let yourself be bullied or join the side of power, which is with him. The repeated chant of “Bully” feels like both a warning and a declaration of dominance.
