Lyrics

[Intro]
Bleach my hair, mess it up
Take my life, dress it up
Signed a deal, I got paper cuts
They wanted them but they got us
Yeah, yeah, uhh
[Verse 1]
Uh
Sleepin' in, faked sick
Smoked a blunt, had a kid
Don't belong, I'm a punk
Hello world, you fucking suck
[Chorus]
Hey
Hey
Keep my mouth shut and wave
Hey
Hey
I'm dancing on my grave
Mmhmm
Mmhmm
[Verse 2]
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 (Everything they say)
Demonized just because I was an angel face baby (Baby)
Career suicide
[Chorus]
Hey
Hey
Keep my mouth shut and wave
Hey
Hey
I'm dancing on my grave
Mmhmm
Mmhmm
[Outro]
Bleach my hair, mess it up
Take my life, dress it up
Signed a deal, I got paper cuts
They wanted them but they got us
But they got us
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Hey
