Living well is not my kind of revenge You should take it from me Living well is just a privilege Thought I'd simmer down as I got older Can't shake the devil sitting on my shoulder Who invited you? Just like a stray animal, I keep feeding scraps I give it my energy and it keeps on coming back Just like a stray animal, I keep feeding scraps I give it my energy and it keeps on coming Everyone is a bad guy And there's no way, no way to know Who's the worst Karma's gonna come for all of us And I hope, well, I hope, I just hope She comes, comes for you first, oh Which wolf wins? I guess it really depends, just gotta wait and see Which one's appetite's the biggest? Turns out I'm living in a horror film Where I'm both the killer and the final girl So who, who are you? Just like a stray animal, I keep feeding scraps I give it my energy and it keeps on coming back Just like a stray animal, I keep feeding scraps I give it my energy and it keeps on coming Everyone is a bad guy And there's no way, no way to know Who's the worst 'Cause karma's gonna come for all of us And I hope, well, I hope, I just hope She comes, comes for you first, oh Never said I wasn't petty Never said I wasn't petty I never said I wasn't petty You can bet I don't regret it for a second It's a pleasure, it's a reckoning Never said I wasn't petty I'll do better when you're better Let me revel in your defeat Everyone is a bad guy And there's no way, no way to know Who's the worst Karma's gonna come for all of us And I hope, well, I hope, I just hope She comes, comes for you first, oh

What a shame we all became Such fragile, broken things A memory remains, just a tiny spark I give it all my oxygen To let the flames begin So let the flames begin Oh, glory, oh, glory This is how we'll dance when When they try to take us down This is what we'll be, oh glory Somewhere weakness is our strength And I'll die searching for it I can't let myself regret such selfishness My pain and all the trouble caused No matter how long I believe that there's hope buried beneath it all and Hiding beneath it all and Growing beneath it all and This is how we'll dance when When they try to take us down This is how we'll sing, oh This is how we'll stand when When they burn our houses down This is what we'll be, oh glory Reaching as I sink down into light (into light) Reaching as I sink down into light (into light) This is how we dance when When they try to take us down This is how we'll sing, oh This is how we'll stand when When they burn our houses down This is what we'll be, oh glory
