Lyrics & Translation

[English]

- He couldn't sleep last night. He was in so much pain.

Poor thing.

It's a third-degree burn.

We took pictures.

- I might need a skin graft.

[soul music]

- Well, we've all been sick over this whole thing,

especially Ruby. Isn't that right, Ruby?

- That's right.

- And she's so thankful for this opportunity to apologize

in person. Isn't that right, Ruby?

- That's right.

- She's gonna have to say a little bit more than that.

- All due respect-- - I'm sorry.

This woman was careless and rude and hurt my son.

- No--wait a minute.

Your son hurt himself.

- You went out of your way not to warn him that plate was hot.

- Are you for real?

- Just say you're sorry.

She is sorry.

- And yet we still haven't heard it.

Do you all have children? - I do.

- Look at the example you're setting.

- [mouthing words]

♪

- I'm sorry.

Okay?

- Thank you, Ruby. - It's not okay.

That was completely insincere. And kind of bitchy.

- Oh, you want me to mean it? - That'd be nice.

- I'm sorry. How was that?

- That's great. - Ah, no, no, no.

Wait a second, Tony. - Eh--

- Let me give it another go.

I'm sorry.

♪

I'm sorry you're too stupid to understand basic human decency,

and how to treat anyone-- especially service people--

with respect.

- She doesn't mean that. - No, I do.

I am one sorry bitch. - Ah...

- I'm sorry you have your head so far up your ass

that you think it's okay to blame everyone else

for your son being a moron.

I'm sorry he's such a punk-ass bitch

because that is a surface burn.

And I am especially sorry that the friends you bring in here

are as entitled and as spoiled and as awful as you,

because if kids like you all are our future,

God help us all.

Now, that's what I'm sorry about.

♪

I'll go clean out my locker.

- That'd be good.
