You thought that it could be okay, at first

However they’d already picked out your grave and hearse
Beware the wrath of masked crusaders
Did you lady boss too near the solar?
Did they catch you having far an excessive amount of enjoyable?
Include me, once they see us, they will run

I like ’em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal
Like my whiskey bitter
And poison thorny flowers
Welcome to my underworld
The place it will get fairly darkish
Not less than you understand precisely who your folks are
They’re those with matching scars
It is simple to like you while you’re widespread
The optics click on, everybody prospers
However one single drop, you are off the roster
“Tone-deaf and scorching, let’s f–kin’ off her”
Did you make a joke solely a person may?
Had been you simply too smug to your personal good?
Or deliver a tiny violin to a knife struggle?
Child, that every one ends tonight

So I am not right here for judgment, no, ooh
However if you cannot be good, then simply be higher at it
Everybody’s obtained our bodies within the attic
Or took anyone’s man, we’ll take you by the hand
And shortly you will be taught the artwork of by no means getting caught
[CHORUS]
