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
