[Chorus]
That's okay
If that's the way you wanna play it
I don't mind
I can play it anyway
That's okay
If that's the way you wanna play it
I don't mind
I can play it anyway

[Verse 1]
You won't stop
Until I pull you to pieces
Which I will in time
But I'm still curious
You're so young
Not one backbone between you
But you think you'll make a hero
Quite peculiar

[Chorus]
That's okay
If that's the way you wanna play it
I don't mind
I can play it anyway
That's okay
If that's the way you wanna play it
I don't mind
I can play it anyway

[Verse 2]
You're just boys
You don't know what you've angered
Did you know you're talking to the heart
Of the machine?
Welcome boys
Welcome to the real world
I could almost be sorry
But I could be wrong

[Chorus]
That's okay
If that's the way you wanna play it
I don't mind
I can play it anyway
That's okay
If that's the way you wanna play it
I don't mind
I can play it anyway

[Verse 3]
I know you
I know what you've been doing
I know where you live
And I know where you are
You know me
I'm the smiling assassin
You know I won't forgive
And you know I won't forget

[Chorus]
That's okay
If that's the way you wanna play it
I don't mind
I can play it anyway
That's okay
If that's the way you wanna play it
I don't mind
I can play it anyway
That's okay
If that's the way you wanna play it
I don't mind
I can play it anyway
That's okay
If that's the way you wanna play it

[Outro]
That's okay
