Seems someone's finally shot you down

Did it make you wonder 'bout the reason why?

Have you been struggling to make up a better excuse

For the time and place you find yourself tonight?

Never let them on to what you know

You just calmly play it off and let it go

Oh so unpredictable, I know

Now it's time to find out who's running the show

Playing fast and loose in life

I'll cut you down to size

You're not immune to all examining

I see right through your lies

Shameful sin, impurities you desperately disguise

The more you run away it's obvious

You've got something to hide

I know in the end I'll track you down

And I justify the means as I see fit

Think you can slip away, keep spinning a web of deceit

But this time I think I've had enough of this

All the eyes are on me, I got somethin' to prove

Can't hide away again like back when there was nothin' to lose

Don't underestimate or hesitate or think that you've won

'Cause when I get to you, you're over and done

You've reached the breaking point where anything goes

So don't expect for me to play nice

You strut around here thinking nobody knows

Better hope my bark is worse than my bite

Lying low and passing time

Ride out your life of crime

It's ill-advised to underestimate

The depths of my design

Night and day, around the clock

Come out here, don't be shy!

Let's get acquainted, just the two of us

Then say your last goodbye

Never let them on to what you know

You just calmly play it off and let it go

Oh so unpredictable, I know

Just wait 'til I find out who's running this show

But oh

If I can't deduce this mystery

What a waste (what a waste)

A paradox that can't be caught (it's so dramatic)

I know

If not for

All the eyes are on me, I got somethin' to prove

Can't hide away again like back when there was nothin' to lose

Don't underestimate or hesitate or think that you've won

'Cause if I were you now, I'd be preparing to run

Never let them on to what you know

You just calmly play it off and let it go

Oh so unpredictable, I know

Let me remind you who's running this show

Playing fast and loose in life

I'll cut you down to size

You're not immune to all examining

I see right through your lies

Shameful sin, impurities you desperately disguise

The more you run away it's obvious

You've got something to hide

Never let them on to what you know (all the eyes are on me, I got somethin' to prove, can't hide away again like back when there was nothin' to lose)

You just calmly play it off and let it go (don't underestimate or hesitate or think that you've won, 'cause when I get to you, you're over and done)

Oh so unpredictable, I know (so unpredictable, I know that you know)

Just one more time, I'll tell you who's running this show (remind you who's been running the show)
