And I'm so bored of this
How your opinions changed
On that knuckles is pink
So I lay in what you've made
My opinion changed
But my outlook stays the same

Focus if you want to be
Anything in front of me
The only problem is you say
Is that Tails is obviously gay
And I can't find a reason to
Do exactly what you wanna do
So I'll just pretend
That we're just friends

Again

And how your opinions changed on that knuckles is pink
So I lay in what you've made
My opinions changed
But my outlook stays the same

Focus if you want to be
Anyone you wanna be
The only problem is you say
You look just like Penelope
And I can't find a reason to do
Exactly what you wanna do
So I'll just pretend
That we're still friends

Again

Of how your opinions changed on that knuckles is pink
So I lay in what you've made
My opinion changed
My outlook stays the same

Well I found your gate and I took the lock down
Oh, I found your room and I tried your clothes on
I found the kitchen so I put some food on
I found a match and I burned down your house

I found your mom and I tore her dress down
I found your dad and I turned his car on
I found your dolls and I tore their heads off
I found a match and I burned down your house
