[Intro]
I hope no bad people show up

[Verse 1]
I reminisce about the confidence that comes with the chaos
I know how to dominate at all costs
The prison in my head had the cells tossed
I fought a fu*king god and the god lost
Sinners, come hither
We can break the rules and leave home or get old and stay bitter
Nothing in the world can surprise me
I know all the demons despise me

[Pre-Chorus]
I got a lot to fu*king say
And if you didn't listen, you didn't hear me anyway

[Chorus]
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's—
Let's go, let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's—
Let's go, let's go, let's go

[Post-Chorus]
Shut the fu*k up
Shut the fu*k up
Shut—
Shut—
Shut the fu*k up

[Verse 2]
Now I can go a million miles an hour with the best of 'em but you just wouldn't fu*king understand like the rest of 'em
What's the point of belligerence and syllables that spill out of dirigibles and make the people irritable?
Just slow the fu*k down
Add a pause to it— put a stop to it
I know I'm a hack and a has-been but motherfu*ker
I'm a .45, not a MAC-10
(Oh god, not again)
I don't want to be a fad— I wanna feel it
I don't wanna be a trick
I wanna treat it like a fact but what the fu*k is a fact?
It's like the truth but what the fu*k is the truth?
Well the truth is the world is a killer with no cure
Nobody cares when the drügs are so pure

[Pre-Chorus]
I got a lot to fu*king say
And if you didn't listen, you didn't hear me anyway

[Chorus]
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's—
Let's go, let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's—
Let's go, let's go, let's go

[Bridge]
I wish the voices in my head would find a different subject
Change it up or shut the fu*k up— crazy does it
Everyone's a TV show but there's nothing worth watching
I don't give a s*it, I gotta go
I said I gotta go, goddamn it, no, shut the fu*k up, stop
Stop the fu*king music, goddamn it, shut the fu*k up

[Breakdown]
'Round here I'm god
And I eat the saints
I got a lot of blood 'cause I'm out of fu*king paint
I'm caustic— agnostic
From a distance, you're a looker, but you're looking exhausted
Armageddon has begun, what a concept
Pharmaceuticals can fill you full of contempt
When I swallow the proof, it's obnoxious
I better hurry up and trust the fu*king process

[Chorus]
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's—
Let's go, let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's—
Let's go, let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's—
Let's go, let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's—
Let's go, let's go, let's go

[Outro]
And to set free a suffering humanity
