[English]

Our next guest is one of today's top acts

here tonight they are going to perform the titular song

of their incredible new album

Please welcome,

Panic! At The Disco

Pyramid of ones, kids with loaded guns

Plugged on a power strip

(Power strip)

I’m already dead, woodstock in the shed

I’m so out of it

(Out of it)

Someone did me wrong, stole my favorite song

Yes, it really hurt

(Really hurt)

Stepped on every chord, fell on every sword

Yes, excalibur

(Excalibur)

I don’t wanna be a diva

I just wanna be free

On a sofa with Sativa

Living the dream…

Shut up and go to bed

She said ‘Viva Las Vengeance!’

Shut up and go to bed

She said ‘Viva Las Vengeance!’

Hacking at my feed, act like you are me

No one really cares

(Really cares)

Nothing’s really real, no one really feels

Nothing to declare

(To declare)

I don’t wanna be anonymous

But I don’t wanna be you

In a city full of promises

Nothing rings true

Shut up and go to bed

She said ‘Viva Las Vengeance!’

Shut up and go to bed

She said ‘Viva Las Vengeance!’

Giving up the key to paint a masterpiece

What am I doing here?

Stuck here in the weeds

On a road that leads

To nowhere…

To nowhere…

To nowhere…

To nowhere…

To nowhere…

To nowhere…

To nowhere…

To nowhere…

Shut up and go to bed

‘Viva Las Vengeance!’

Shut up

Shut up

Shut up and go to bed

She said ‘Viva Las Vengeance!’

Shut up and go to bed

She said ‘Viva Las Vengeance!’

Every moment is a replay

I’m being buried alive

Didn’t wanna kill the DJ

But it can’t hurt to try

Thank you so much

I do love indulging in a little,

panic

Now, shut up and go to bed

see you tomorrow night
