So proud
Well take a bow
It's coming 'round
And I think I'll give you a taste
You won't forget the day we met
And what was said
So now
The time has come
To watch your back
Don't stand alone
And I'll say just one last thing
Don't turn away
Why can't you listen to me?
You'll find it out
The price is out on your head
And I'm willing to pay
Your time ran out
Your lights go down in red
Afraid
To take a stand
You had one last chance
To make amends
Now you'll pay
For your mistakes
It's your last day
Why can't you listen to me?
You'll find it out
The price is out on your head
And I'm willing to pay
Your time ran out
Your lights go down in red
Listen to me
You'll find it out
The price is out on your head
And I'm willing to pay
Your time ran out
Your lights go down and now you'll see
I don't give a fuck
No, I don't give a fuck
Listen to me, lesson to you
Listen to me, lesson to you
Listen to me break
Why can't you listen to me?
You'll find it out
The price is out on your head
And I'm willing to pay
Your time ran out
Your lights go down in red
Listen to me
You'll find it out
The price is out on your head
And I'm willing to pay
Your time ran out
Your lights go down and now you'll see
So proud
Well take a bow
It's coming 'round
You'll find out
Listen to me, lesson to you
Listen to me, lesson to you
