  • (My God, what have I done?)

    Alright kid, how's life?
    'Bout time that we spoke
    Lets talk about the day when you were seven years old
    The doctor took your little dick out
    Put it straight down his throat
    You never said a word to anybody
    No one was told
    Your mum was in the same room, she was dying to know
    Why when the curtain opened up you were white as a ghost
    She's probably finding out now in the line to your show
    Why you'll never trust a guy in a tie and a coat

    But you don't want to do what your daddy did
    Bury it deep down, keep it under your skin
    So you put pen to paper, made a verse of it
    And you murdered it, and the chorus went

    You gotta kill somebody to be somebody
    To be who you wanna be
    You gotta hit rock bottom
    To live through all of the shit nobody believes
    You're gonna hurt some people
    But first some people will thirst on watching you bleed
    And that's when you know that you made it
    You made it
    When you're hated

    Fast forward and before you know the albums out
    Crowds loud, sold-out shows
    But right now as far as popular opinion goes
    You're a posh, queer-baiting, indulgent arsehole
    Spits beer on the kids while infecting their earholes
    Mate, that's why you've been sent here to fuck with the fearful
    Tits out, fuck boys in the back of the vehicle
    Tracksuits, lipstick got the Catholics tearful

    But you don't want to do what your daddy did
    Bury it deep down, keep it under your skin
    So you put pen to paper, made a verse of it
    And you murdered it, and the chorus went

    You gotta kill somebody to be somebody
    To be who you wanna be
    You gotta hit rock bottom
    To live through all of the shit nobody believes
    You're gonna hurt some people
    But first some people will thirst on watching you bleed
    And that's when you know that you made it
    You made it
    When you're hated

    Alright, you thought that was it?
    Nah, don't get cocky, we haven't even started yet
    You go back and forth from your North American tour
    Your sister can't even look at you
    She won't open the door
    The story you told was only partially yours
    You outed her in a magazine
    Who the fuck do you think you are?
    Do you forget your family listens to the radio in the car
    You're tryna be authentic, but you're taking it too far
    You're messed up in the head
    You fucked up with your friends
    Your family's upset
    Don't call them, you forget
    You say "I'm sorry Jem, things are pretty crazy right now"
    She says, "I love you Dom, but I fucking hate you right now"

    You gotta kill somebody to be somebody
    To be who you wanna be
    You gotta hit rock bottom
    To live through all of the shit nobody believes
    You're gonna hurt some people
    But first some people will thirst on watching you bleed
    And that's when you know that you made it
    You made it
    When you're hated

    That's when you know that you made it
    That's when you know that you made it
    You made it
    When you're hated
