[English]

You best be bashed around the bush once or twice

Before you get to taste the finer life

My mother taught me, gotta just survive

Put on a smile, just find a vice

Don't hate the girl, just hate the crime

Oh, forgive me Lord, oh, I'm a good girl

I'd never hurt a fly, but I've got walls to climb

Oh, forgive me Lord, oh, a minor chord

You put me in this house, I had to claw right out

Run rabbit, run rabid (run, run, run, run, run, run, run)

Gift granted you've gone rancid (granted, granted, granted)

Run rabbit, run rabid (run, run, run, run, run, run, run)

Walls padded, drinking acid

I never knew another way of life

My baby brain collected all the strife

My father told me gotta just survive

You drink the poison got to pay the price

Oh, forgive me Lord, oh, I'm a good girl

I'd never hurt a fly, but I've got walls to climb

Oh, forgive me Lord, oh, a minor chord

You put me in this house, I had to claw right out

Run rabbit, run rabid (run, run, run, run, run, run, run)

Gift granted, you've gone rancid (granted, granted, granted)

Run rabbit, run rabid (run, run, run, run, run, run, run)

Walls padded, drinking acid

What does not kill you

Never repairs

What does not kill you

Gives you never ending nightmares

Oh, forgive me Lord, oh, I'm a good girl

I'd never hurt a fly, but I've got walls to climb

Oh, forgive me lord, oh, a minor chord

You put me in this house, I had to claw right out

Run rabbit, run rabid (run, run, run, run, run, run, run)

Gift granted you've gone rancid (granted, granted, granted)

Run rabbit, run rabid (run, run, run, run, run, run, run)

Walls padded, drinking acid
