X-Cutioner's Song

Tick-tok, sit it out

I'm at the stage in central park

Don't want your words or apologies

You're gonna pay for it

Pay for it

 

Take back what you stole

I'm sure you meant it all

The world will see what I can do

This is my legacy

And it starts with you

 

Because you gave me away

Why?

Because you gave me away

Why?

 

Burnt flesh

Broken bones

They watch the screens as it unfolds

Let me out so I'm not here

You posed the question

This is my reply

Why'd you think I'd let it go

With your 'yes mans' and pay and all?

Well then I ask you

Are you prepared?

 

Because you gave me away

Why?

Because you gave me away

Why?

 

Silly Charlie

We caught his fingers in the kitty

Silly Charlie

We caught his fingers in the till

 

Opened up our eyes

Now we see he's playing both sides

 

Silly Charlie

We caught his fingers in the till
