Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your mama's got nothing on me
Your daddy's got nothing on me
And the world that sleeps in its lunacy
It's got nothing on me
[Verse 2]
No stars got nothing on me
Your sun's got nothing on me
And the fool who sees it's the thief that needs
Got nothing on me
[Verse 3]
You know it's not because the light here
Gets brighter
And it's not that I'm evil
I got a friend in the devil
[Verse 4]
But I can't even be your friend
I can't even be your friend
I can't even be your friend
[Verse 5]
I can get so wound up
But I feel alright
And if I get some rest
Yeah, that'd be nice
When I shouldn't do it
I still do it
[Verse 6]
What you think's got nothing to do with this
Before you were born, I was already sinning
[Verse 7]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When I get too worked up
Well, I work it out
And if I get too down
I just shout it out
[Verse 8]
I bet I have it all
But the rest will do
And it's nothing against all I do with you
[Verse 9]
Before you were born, I was already sinning
It's not because the light here is brighter
And it's not that I'm evil
I just don't like to pretend
[Verse 10]
That I could ever be your friend
If you don't listen so good
I can hum it out
Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na
I know I shouldn't do it
I just do it
[Verse 11]
What you think's got nothing to do with this
Before you were born, I was already sinning
[Verse 12]
It's not because the light here is brighter
And it's not that I'm evil
I just don't like to pretend
[Verse 13]
That I could ever be your friend
I could never be your friend
I never needed a friend
I don't wanna be friend
You'll never find a friend like me
