Lyrcis:

(Heh, underestimate me
Again  why don’t you?)

I always think twice
Do you ever think at all?
You locked yourself up
in your crumbling castle

Depp, Brody, Basquiat, 
You think you’re original?
You’re all the same flavor of pain
I’m sick of consuming your fame

So shoot the messenger
I’ll fly despite
You tying me down
So shoot the messenger
Go ahead and
Shoot me down

Make me your God
Because you can’t understand
How you’re the real villain
And I’m just a strawman

Choke me
Trick me
Rob me
Fake me 
Break my back

But I make too much sense
Not to rot in your brain
Yeah I know
You can’t turn away

So shoot the messenger
I’ll fly despite
You hoping I’ll drown
So shoot the messenger
I’ll let you
Shoot me down

So 
cock your gun
Draw your bow
Fire again
They’re all gonna know
/Let’s put on a show/
I’ve got one card left, UNO 

Nothing terrifies you more
Than a woman with soul
