lyrics

There's a party outside
But I can't cut loose
Been living on the sideline
Just to entertain you

A new communication
That speech forbidden at the dinner table
"Sophisticated nation"
Masking sadistic ideation

Fool me once, shame on...

I hate that you've been so careless lately
Become exponentially lazy
Don't say that the heel is safety
As it comes down
I hate that you've been so careless lately
Become unequivocally crazy
Don't say that the heel is saintly
As it falls down

There's a party outside
But I'm locked out
Cause you'll never face the truth
When I pull through

A new communication
That speech forbidden at the dinner table
"Sophisticated nation"
Masking sadistic ideation

"Fool me once... fool me, you can't get fooled again"
These, the words you trust
Even when they set fire to your bed
"Fool me once... fool me, you can't get fooled again"
I'd say not so much
Just look around
It's déjà vu again

I hate that you've been so careless lately
Become exponentially lazy
Don't say that the heel is safety
As it comes down
I hate that you've been so careless lately
Become unequivocally crazy
Don't say that the heel is saintly
As it falls down

"Fool me once... fool me, you can't get fooled again"
I'd say not so much
Just look around
It's déjà vu again
