Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I killed myself to be one of the boys
I lost my head to be one of the boys
I bit my tongue to be one of the boys
I sold my soul to be one of the boys
[Verse 2]
Ego trip make the big man bigger
Look at you now, you're a bonafide figure
You paint your face, what a glorified sinner
It shi-shi-shimmers
[Chorus]
It's only wrong if you do it and you get caught
Don't cry, we're just getting to the good part
What happened? You were being such a good sport
I'm sorry, etc, I'm sorry, etc
[Verse 3]
Synthetic adoration
Big beats and smoking guns
Wash off the information
Are you still having fun?
[Verse 4]
I killed myself to be one of the boys
I lost my head to be one of the boys
I bit my tongue to be one of the boys
I sold my soul to be one of the boys
[Chorus]
It's only wrong if you do it and you get caught
Don't cry, we're just getting to the good part
What happened? You were being such a good sport
I'm sorry, etc, I'm sorry, etc
I'm sorry, etc, I'm sorry, etc
I'm sorry, etc, I'm sorry, etc
I'm sorry, etc, I'm sorry, etc
I'm sorry, etc, I'm sorry, etc
[Outro]
Ego trip make the big man bigger
Look at you now, you're a bonafide figure
You paint your face, what a glorified sinner
It shimmers
