Shock Value

[Verse 1] I like to make 'em smile Telling lies right to their face They call me sinister and vile God I live to entertain I choose a character in style Play it up just like a game This ain't Monopoly They take me in, they start a trial Yeah they think that I'm insane But they love watching me [Chorus] I give them just enough Like a free preview They all like the show But it's nothing new I do all the things they're afraid to do Call it shock value [Verse 2] I think that she's a mess By that I really mean myself She takes over my head Like I'd become somebody else And I smile but I'm dead Like I climb six feet down They call it metamorphosis 'Til they taste the blood on my mouth [Chorus] I give them just enough Like a free preview They all like the show But it's nothing new I do all the things they're afraid to do Call it shock value [Bridge] I get home at six AM Just feeling dirty again Take a shower to wash off my sins The holy water is burning my skin Can I get it all off my chest? Confessing to a God that don't exist [Chorus] Gave them just enough Like a free preview They all liked the show But it won't be renewed I did all the things they're afraid to do Call it shock value Call it shock value Shock value
