lyrics

Has anybody told you,
your pretty pretty for a boy,
YOU WANT IT, YOU GOT IT.

Your bags are packed,
and you're headed out for a war.
YOUR BRAIN IS CANNON FODDER.

Everybody wants to get a little piece of you.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

(Disconnect your human heart replace it with a program)

You, your out of my mind,
Get out of my head.
You don't know the joys of being dead.
You, you know I thought,
I know what you said.
You don't know the joys of being dead.

(Algorithm feels alright it gets you to the weekend)

Has anybody told you,
your pretty pretty for a girl,
YOU WANT IT, YOU GOT IT.

Your daddy went and he gave you the whole world.
WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH IT?

Everybody wants to get a little piece of you.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

Do they want you or just a little piece of it?
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

(Dig yourself a fancy grave and let the symptoms sink in)

You, your out of my mind,
Get out of my head.
You don't know the joys of being dead.
You, you know I thought,
I know what you said.
You don't know the joys of being dead.
You, your out of my mind,
Get out of my head.
You don't know the joys of being dead.
You, you know I thought,
I know what you said.
You don't know the joys of being dead.

Disconnect your human heart replace it with a program,
algorithm feels alright it gets you to the weekend.
Rusted brain, you feel the drain, the grey matter is leaking,
dig yourself a fancy grave and let the symptoms sink in
