i verified the math

and double-checked the syntax

i tried to heal your body

but it just kept coming back

you never had a chance

i thought i was a poet

i had so much to say

but now i want to see the blood

i want to make them pay

yeah

i can see the day

i made a place for children

they wanted all the answers

i gave them all my lectures

and now they're perfect dancers

'cause i'm a perfect dancer

sha la la la la
