[Intro]
If I was to die tomorrow
Would you come to my freak show tonight?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
4, 3, 2, 1

[Refrain]
I wanna get buzzed on the weekend
Get messed up and depressed with my friends
'Cause I don't need, no, I don't need you
So I'ma take a drug on the weekend
Take myself out of my supressed head
'Cause I don't need, no, I don't need you

[Verse 1]
See, I've been hurt ten times before
I've hurt myself and so much more
They took me to the seventh floor
Threw me right off (Threw me right off)
See, everybody wants to be a little like us
But they don't understand all the things we've done
They will try to change you 'cause they are so afraid of you
But hold on, hold on

[Chorus]
'Cause faux plastic dolls
With their hands and their ribbons
Will strangle us all
And they'll all be forgiven
I refuse to be taken the typical way
So welcome to the freak show
I hope that you find yourself today

[Refrain]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I wanna get buzzed on the weekend
Get messed up and depressed with my friends
'Cause I don't need, no, I don't need you
So I'ma take a drug on the weekend
Take myself out of my suppressed head
'Cause I don't need, no, I don't need you

[Verse 2]
See, I'm asleep but wide awake
I pray the Lord my soul will break
It's right there on the table
So take it off, take it off
See, everybody wants to be a little like them
But they don't understand how it all will end
They will try to break you 'cause they are so ashamed of you
But hold on, hold on

[Chorus]
'Cause faux plastic dolls
With their hands and their ribbons
Will strangle us all
And they'll all be forgiven
I refuse to be taken the typical way
So welcome to the freak show
I hope that you find yourself today

[Bridge]
Times will change and you might break
But we'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
We'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
Times will change and you might break
But we'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
We'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
Times will change (Yeah)
And you might break (I believe it, yeah)
But we'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
We'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
Times will change (Yeah)
And you might break (I believe it, yeah)
But we'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
We'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
Times will change and you might break
But we'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
We'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
Times will change and you might break
But we'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
We'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it

[Outro]
You, I believe in
You
Times will change
And you might break
But I will spend my life believing in you!

YUNGBLUD

Dominic Richard Harrison, who performs under the moniker of YUNGBLUD, fuses alternative rock and hip-hop while speaking up on important topics like mental illness and politics. Hailing from Doncaster, England, he cites acts like Arctic Monkeys and Eminem as influences.

Harrison grew up surrounded by music, and in several interviews he mentions that his parents placed a ukulele in his hands within days of his birth. His father owned a guitar shop and his grandfather was part of T. Rex.

Before becoming YUNGBLUD, he performed as Harrison, releasing songs like “Miss Those Days” with an upbeat acoustic flare. In his late teens, Harrison was approached by a record label, and conformed to their expectations hoping for a successful career, but he left the label in favor of making the music he truly wanted to create.
