(He said, he said, he said)
He said you're just as boring as everyone else
When you tut and you moan
And you squeal and you squelch
He said you're just as boring as everyone else
Nothing ever happens

Things replace things
Days replaces days
Things replace things

She said I'm going to use my teeth and my claws
She said I'm going to use my teeth and my claws
She said I'm going to use my teeth and my breasts
I'm gonna make it happen
She said
(Run run run run run run)
And you cannot run or ever, ever escape
(Run run run run run run)
And you cannot run or ever hide it away
(Run run run run run run)
Something glorious is about to happen
(Run run run run run run)

The reckoning
The reckoning, they go
The reckoning, they go
The reckoning, they go
The reckoning, they go

You're just as boring as everyone else
When you tut and you moan
And you squeal and you squelch
They go you're just as boring as everyone else
Stuck past timing

The fear and the yearning
The fear and the consumption
The fear and the yearning
It's gonna eat you alive
They go

(Run run run run run run)
And you cannot hide or ever, ever escape
(Run run run run run run)
And you cannot hide or ever put it away
(Run run run run run run)
Something glorious is about to happen
(Run run run run run run)

The reckoning

They go
They say
They go
They say
They go
They say
They go
They say, say
They say
They go


Why'd you have to get so hysterical
Why'd you have to get so hysterical
Why'd you have to get so hysterical
Why'd you have to get so hysterical

(Success, success, success, success)
Why'd you have to get so hysterical
(Success, success, success is over)
Why'd you have to get so hysterical
(Success, success, success, success)
Why'd you have to get so hysterical
(Success, success, success)

Why'd you have to get
So fucking useless

Play it cool boy
(Success, success)
Play it cool boy
(Success is over)
Play it cool boy
(Success, success)
Play it cool boy
(Success is over)
Play it cool boy
(Success, success)
Play it cool boy
(Success is over)
Play it cool boy
(Success, success)
Play it cool boy
(Success is over)

Play it cool
