Verse 1:
Cm
Sneaky, greedy, money seeking
Bb
Always peeping, fucking creeping
Am
Got it on the down low
Ab
So you think you always squeaky
Cm                      Bb
What if I had told your mother
    Am                    Ab
Her son was a cruel motherfucker? Ah

Verse 2:
Cm
It's not just me, it's everybody

Who thinks that you're fucking ugly

When you come and hurt us

Just so you can get your money

First to follow the leader
Am                       Ab
Who's being possessed by demons


Chorus:
     Ab                                Cm
I've tried to make you listen, but you won't, it's your way, right?
Bb
Killing kids all day and night, prescription pills and online fights
Ab                           Cm
Shooting at the angels while claiming you're the good guy

All you want is cash and hype

Fuck our dreams and that's not right

Complicated, overrated
Bb
You're fixated, I'm belated
Am                Ab
By the separation in this place that you've created
Cm                         Bb
Fuck all of your rules and guidelines
Am                           Ab
You shouldn't even be on the sidelines

Cm                           Bb
Can't you see that we're all hurtin'?
Bb                                Ab
If you're not teaching, we're not learnin'
                            Ab
Excuse me, how much are you earnin'?


Chorus:
     Ab                                Cm

Killing kids all day and night, prescription pills and online fights
Ab                           Cm
Shooting at the angels while claiming you're the good guy

All you want is cash and hype
Bb
Fuck our dreams and that's not right

The principal

You don't know the pain that you are causing

Yeah, your actions hurt, so do your words
Ab                          Cm
The more you try to fuck us over
                 Bb                    N.C.
We will be there yelling at your front door
