So you think you always squeaky

First to follow the leader was being possessed by demons

All you want is cash and hype

Complicated, overrated

You're fixated, and elated

You shouldn't even be on the sidelines

 Can't you see that we're all hurtin'?

Excuse me, how much are you earnin'?

[Bridge]
 Em                           A
You don't know the pain that you are causing

            D                        G
Yeah, your actions hurt, so do your words

     Em                      A
The more you try to fuck us over

                  D                     G
We will be there yelling at your front door
[Outro] N.C. I'm trying to make you listen, but you won't, it's your way, right?
