Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who runs the show, who runs the show, who runs the show?
[Verse 2]
Who runs the show, who hands out the suspensions?
I need a lesson in mishap prevention
Young boy who can't hear must feel
A masochist, you know the deal
[Verse 3]
I rarely listen, I forgot to mention
And I'm in need of a damn intervention
Young boy who can't hear must feel
A masochist, you know the deal
[Verse 4]
Pain is inevitable, misery's a choice
Pain is inevitable, misery's a choice
[Verse 5]
Now I'm a product, I must turn a profit
Something to prove I'm a god, I'm a prophet
Trying to be something that's real
Comes at a price, that's the deal
[Verse 6]
Against my better judgment
I agreed to something
Too deep to turn back
I'll deal with it in the afterlife
A young **** done paid the price
Feels good to be nice
[Verse 7]
Pain is inevitable, misery's a choice
Pain is inevitable, misery's a choice
[Verse 8]
What if tonight Lucifer comes for you?
Turns out your light, your light
I hope you're right
'Cause nobody wants to be alone
I don't wanna be alone for the rest of my life, baby
For life, life
Maybe a little bit
[Verse 9]
So long, sweet boy, you will be missed
Aw, fuck, baby, look what they did to me, baby
Look what they did to me, I used to be so sweet
Sweet as candy, soft as a kiss
Smiling all the time, giggling and shit
[Verse 10]
So long, sweet boy, you will be missed
Sweet boy
I used to be a child, I just wanna be a child again
Sweet as candy, soft as a kiss
This adult shit's for the birds
[Verse 11]
I miss my innocence, I miss trusting people
I used to trust
Look what they did to me, baby
