We're gonna make the devil
We're gonna make them pay
Just look at what they do
Just look at what they say

So many pointed fingers
Pitchforks and torches
Vigilante justice
Makes the mob remorseless

You never look in the mirror
When there's someone new to blame
You never gotta change yourself
When you gotta curse the name
Of your greatest foe
That you created yesterday
Just look at what they do
Just look at what they say

It's time for a witch hunt, baby
It's time to rally for the cause
It's time to prove ourselves
It's time to win applause
You might think you're safe from the fire
But everyone gets their turn
'Cause we love a good witch hunt, baby
We love to watch the "bad guy" burn
We love to be the broken hearted
We love to be the sheltered child
Now we're gonna get a little crazy
Now we're gonna get a little wild

We've just been waiting for the moment
Quivering 'cause we smell blood
Our love is a gentle shower
That turns into a raging flood

It's so much work to be the righteous
It's so hard to be so good
We're just so thankful to fight this
'Cause no one before ever thought we could
But now we're gonna burn a straw man
To light up the darkest night
Our hands might be a little red
But rest assured, we're in the right

It's time for a witch hunt, baby
It's time to rally for the cause
It's time to prove ourselves
It's time to win applause
You might think you're safe from the fire
But everyone gets their turn
'Cause we love a good witch hunt, baby
We love to watch the "bad guy" burn
