lyrics

Oh, what a shame! I would have taken your name
I would’ve driven down the boulevard, bought those cigarettes
That you never really wanted, and this wasn’t what you wanted
But we tried just in case I’d change my face

Oh, what a shame! I would have faded away
I would have been the guillotine to my own self esteem
And just faded to the dust and melded to the rust
And you never liked what I had to say

Oh, you wanted so much!
And oh, it was never enough!
Oh, you wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
And it always had to be a certain way!

Oh, what a shame! We had to play these games
And I held up a knife to your terrified eyes
To show you that there’s more than this and you can do more than this
And you’re not exactly who you say you are

Oh, what a shame! You thought I soiled your name
And I’ll go down in history as the bitch of misery
But you’re a condescending hypocrite, conforming to your difference
And you never liked what I had to say

Oh, you wanted so much!
And oh, it was never enough!
Oh, you wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
And it always had to be a certain way!

We were a lost cause
We were a lost cause
We were a lost cause
We were a lost cause

Oh, what a shame!
Oh, what a shame!!
Oh, what a shame!!!
Oh, what a shame!!!!

Oh, you wanted so much!
And oh, it was never enough!
Oh, you wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
You wanted so much!

Oh, you wanted so much!
And oh, it was never enough!
Oh, you wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
You wanted so much!

"all of your songs are very short, and the audience screams at the end bc they’re so scary."
