Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here we go again, motherfucker
[Verse 2]
Come on down and see the idiot right here
Too fucked to beg and not afraid to care
What's the matter with calamity anyway?
Right? Get the fuck outta my face
Understand that I can't feel anything
It isn't like I wanna sift through the decay
I feel like a wound, like I got a fucking gun against my head
You live when I'm dead
[Verse 3]
One more time, motherfucker
[Verse 4]
Everybody hates me now, so fuck it
Blood's on my face and my hands and I don't know why
I'm not afraid to cry but that's none of your business
Whose life is it? Get it? See it? Feel it? Eat it?
Spin it around so I can spit in its face
I wanna leave without a trace
'Cause I don't wanna die in this place
[Verse 5]
People = Shit
People = Shit (Whatcha gonna do?)
People = Shit ('Cause I am not afraid of you)
People = Shit (I'm everything you'll never be)
People = Shit
[Verse 6]
It never stops- you can't be everything to everyone
Contagion- I'm sittin' at the side of Satan
What do you want from me?
They never told me the failure I was meant to be
Overdo it- don't tell me you blew it
Stop your bitchin' and fight your way through it
I'M NOT LIKE YOU/I JUST FUCK UP
C'mon motherfucker, everybody has to die
[Verse 7]
People = Shit
People = Shit
[Verse 8]
People = Shit
People = Shit (Whatcha gonna do?)
People = Shit ('Cause I am not afraid of you)
People = Shit (I'm everything you'll never be)
People = Shit
