lyrics

What the hell would we do without you here to complain about the stupidest things in the world? For the first time, won't you just be real with me? For the first time, won't you just be honest?

Back then I, I thought I knew, thought I knew you...but well...

Give the maid the night off cause you're just so kind.
Make sure all of the neighbors know.
The worst part is you never care,
Never care about who needs the money.

And I have seen you through the eyes of the downtrodden, and I have seen their hate for you, hate for me. And i have seen you through the eyes of the downtrodden, and I have seen their hatred for our wicked race of bastards and accursed souls.

My god, they've probably climbed the walls by now, soon they'll be in your house. They'll break into your bedroom, and they will eat you up!
