Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am bad, I am evil
I am winter, I am pain
I'll mess up your life
I'll beat up your wife
I'll lose all your friends
And I'll win in the end
[Verse 2]
So you play the Joker
And I'll play the Clown
And I'll laugh while you're up there
And I'll laugh when you're down
Though your screams break the silence
Oh, they won't make a sound
Na-na-na-na na na na naaa
[Verse 3]
I will rise, I will take you
I will break you, never let you go
I'll shoot through your veins
I'll drive you insane
I'll poison your breath
And I'll love you to death
[Verse 4]
So you be the Joker
And I'll be the Clown
And you'll laugh when you're up there
But you'll cry when you're down
Though your screams break the silence
Oh, they won't make a sound
Na-na-na-na na na na naaa
[Verse 5]
Oh, so you play the Joker
And I'll play the Clown
And I'll laugh when you're up there
And I'll laugh when you're down
Though your screams break the silence
Oh, they won't make a sound
Na-na-na-na na na na naaa
[Verse 6]
Na-na-na-na na na na naaa
Na-na-na-na na na na naaa
