[English]

Who runs the show

Who runs the show

Who runs the show

Who runs the show who hands out the suspensions

I need a lesson in mishap prevention

Young boy who can't hear must feel

A masochist you know the deal

I rarely listen, I forgot to mention

And I'm in need of a damn intervention

Young boy who can't hear must feel

A masochist you know the deal

Pain is inevitable

Misery's a choice

Pain is inevitable

Misery's a choice

Now I'm a product, that must turn a profit

Something to prove, I'm a god, I'm a prophet

Tryna be something that's real

Comes at a price, that's the deal

Against my better judgment

I agreed to something

Too deep to turn back

I'll deal with it in the afterlife

Young n- done paid the price

Feels good to be nice

Pain is inevitable

Misery is a choice

Pain is inevitable

Misery's a choice

What if tonight Lucifer comes for you

Turns out your light, your light

I hope, you're right (yeah)

'Cause nobody wants to be (I don't wanna be alone for the rest of my life, baby)

Alone for life, life (maybe a little bit)

So long, sweet boy (oh, fuck)

(Baby, look what they did to me, baby) you, will be missed

Sweet as candy, soft as a kiss (look what they did to me, I used to be so sweet)

(Smiling all the time, we keep going through shit)

So long sweet boy

You, you will be missed (I used to be a child)

(I just wanna be a child again)

Sweet as candy, soft as a kiss (so, don't pull the birds)

(I miss my innocence, I miss trusting people)

(I used to trust)

...

(Look what they did to me, baby)
