[Verse 1]
Just leave me here alone
To breathe it in
The stench up on the stage was foul
And it got me wondering
How can't you be embarrassed
While you do the things you do?
You're basically One Direction
If they all had throat tattoos
(It's lost on you)

[Chorus]
You, you're only gonna let them down
But you pull the wool over their eyes somehow
And if you should start feeling sick
When you take a look around
Would you recognize the part you played in it?

[Verse 2]
Well I assure you, mister listener
It really is that bad
These aren't harmless criminals
And this isn't just a fad
'Cause kid, there's consequences
To what we say and what we do
While you're dancing like an idiot
They're looking up to you
(It's lost on you)
[Chorus]
You, you're only gonna let them down
But you pull the wool over their eyes somehow
And if you should start feeling sick
When you take a look around
Would you recognize the part you played in it?

[Bridge]
Take it from me
Your rebel with a cause
We’ll be here when you get old

[Verse 3]
Can't you see the future
Slowly getting neutered?
How can people call this art?
The crowds go la la la la la
They perpetuate the problem
Who can even tell them apart?

[Chorus]
You, you're only gonna let them down
But you pull the wool over their eyes somehow
And if you should start feeling sick
When you take a look around
Would you recognize the part you played in it?
Would you recognize the part you played in it?
