"Drag Queen"

'80s people dancing, ooh

Always get it right

I'd listen but I can't tonight

I can't tonight, I can't tonight

Well, it's something that you do to get it right

End up reviled for it

Yeah, that's the thanks I get

I don't understand

Your fucked-up system

This sinister city

Try to sell the water

Try to sell the air

Try to sell your daughter

Try to sell her hair

"We all want to watch the fight"

"Is it on Sunday?"

Hide in a hole with a gun in your hand in front of

Someone you want dead, I guess

Hiding in your suit

I did not know that

They're bringing me back to my past

I got my head in my hands

I got my head in my

I got my head in my hands

I got my head in my

I got my head

It's just something that you do to get it right

End up reviled for it

Yeah, that's the thanks I get

Jail, that's what you get

Stepping to the system

Profiting from war

Fighting as the victim

Always wanting more

Trying to trick your brothers

Get them to fight it for you

I cannot believe my eyes

Darling, I can tell you lies

"Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago"

I don't know geography all that well

Yeah, yeah

Defying Western logic

Even if it shows you're wrong

I guess that's a classic

Been with us all along
