Lyrics

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, give 'em what they want
[Chorus]
If lust and hate is the candy
If blood and love tastes so sweet
Then we give 'em what they want
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, give 'em what they want
[Chorus]
So their eyes are growing hazy
'Cause they wanna turn it on
So their minds are soft and lazy
Well
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, give 'em what they want
[Chorus]
If lust and hate is the candy
If blood and love tastes so sweet
Then we give 'em what they want
[Chorus]
So their eyes are growing hazy
'Cause they wanna turn it on
So their minds are soft and lazy
Well
Who, who, who...
Do you wanna blame?
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, give 'em what they want
[Chorus]
If lust and hate is the candy
If blood and love tastes so sweet
Then we give 'em what they want
[Chorus]
So their eyes are growing hazy
'Cause they wanna turn it on
So their minds are soft and lazy
Well
Who, who, who...
Do you wanna blame?
