[English]

Everyone is so soft, everyone is so sensitive

Do I offend you? You're hanging on my sentences

You can keep your costume and you can keep your mask

I'ma take a bow so you can kiss my ass

I never signed up for your drama

Up for your drama, up for your drama club

I never signed up for your drama

Up for your drama club

They try to feed you lines that you have to memorise

You always hide behind your Wizard of Oz disguise

Do you even have a brain? You're sticking to a page

You're faking all your pain, yeah, you're bleeding on a stage

I never signed up for your drama

Up for your drama, up for your drama club

I never signed up for your drama

Up for your drama club (ooh)

I never signed up for your drama club (ooh)

For your drama club

I never signed up for your drama (ooh)

Up for your drama, up for your drama club

Never signed up for your drama (ooh)

Up for your drama, up for your drama club

I don't wanna be an actress, living by a script

Who cares about practicing? I don't give a shit

You're over-analysing every word I say

There's a whole world out there, you're living a play

Fuck your auditorium, I think it's pretty boring and

I never signed up for your drama

Up for your drama, up for your drama club

I never signed up for your drama

Up for your drama club (ooh)

I never signed up for your drama club (ooh)

For your drama club

I never signed up for your drama (ooh)

Up for your drama, up for your drama club

Never signed up for your drama (ooh)

Up for your drama, up for your drama club

...

For your drama club

Mmh, mmh

Mmh, mmh

...

I never signed up (ooh), mmh, mmh

I never signed up (ooh), never signed up

Never signed up for your drama club

I never signed up for your drama (ooh), for your drama

For your drama club

I never signed up for your drama (ooh)

Up for you drama, for your drama club

I never signed up for your drama (ooh)

Up for your drama, up for your drama club

I never signed up for your drama (ooh)

Up for your drama, up for your drama club

I never signed up for your drama (ooh)

Up for your drama, up for your drama club

I never signed up for your drama (ooh)

Up for your drama, up for your drama club
