Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Because I'm happy to be sad
I want it all, I want it bad
Oh, oh, it's what I know
A vintage year for pop, I hear
The middle of the end is near
Let's go, oh
It's what I know
[Verse 2]
Torture me and torture me
Forcing me and so torture me, please
Torture me with sorcery
Forcing me and so torture me, please
[Verse 3]
All the leaves are turning brown
The wind is pushing me around
Let's go, oh
It's what I know
[Verse 4]
Torture me and torture me
It's forcing me and so torture me, please
Torture me with sorcery
Forcing me and so torture me, please
[Verse 5]
The will of God is standing still
Brazilian children get their fill, let's go
Let's turn it up and dumb it down
The vision of your ultrasound is so
But all the leaves are turning brown
The wind is pushing me around
Let's go
A vintage year for pop, I hear
The middle of the end is near
It's so, oh
[Verse 6]
Torture me and torture me
It's forcing me and so torture me, please
Torture me with sorcery
Forcing me and so torture me, please
Torture me and torture me
It's forcing me and so torture me, please
Torture me with sorcery
Forcing me and so torture me, please
