[Chorus]
Bleach my hair, mess it up
Take my life, dress it up
Signed a deal, I got papercuts
They wanted them, but they got us
Yeah, yeah, uh[Post-Chorus]
Uh, sleepin' in, faked sick
Smoked a blunt, had a kid
Don't belong, I'm a punk
Hello world, you f**kin' suck[Refrain]
Hey, hey, keep my mouth shut and wave
Hey, hey, I'm dancin' on my grave
Mhmm, mhmm[Verse]
Everybody's so nice lately (Everybody's not nice)
Polarized feelings, I don't wear them on my face lately
(I don't wear them on my face)
Internalized everything the headlines say lately

Demonized just because I was an angel face baby (Baby)[Interlude]
Career suicide[Refrain]
Hey, hey, keep my mouth shut and wave
Hey, hey, I'm dancin' on my grave

Bleach my hair, mess it up
Take my life, dress it up
Signed a deal, I got papercuts
They wanted them, but they got us
But they got us
Yeah, yeah[Outro]
