Lyrics
Bleach my hair, mess it up
Take my life, dress it up
Signed a deal, I got papercuts
They wanted them, but they got us

Yeah, yeah, uh

Uh, sleepin' in, faked sick
Smoked a blunt, had a kid
Don't belong, I'm a punk
Hello world, you fucking suck

Hey, hey
Keep my mouth shut and wave
Hey, hey
I'm dancing on my grave
Mm
Mm

Everybody's so nice lately
(Everybody's not nice)
Polarized feelings, I don't wear them on my face lately
(I don't wear them on my face)
Internalized everything the headlines say lately
(Everything they say)
Demonized just because I was a angel face baby
(Baby)
(Career suicide)

Hey, hey
Keep my mouth shut and wave
Hey, hey
I'm dancing on my grave
Mm
Mm

Bleach my hair, mess it up
Take my life, dress it up
Signed a deal, I got papercuts
They wanted them but they got us
But they got us
Yeah, yeah

Hey
