Lyrics

Degenerate

No, I don't think you're a bad person
For wanting to be wanted by someone
It's lonely through the night
But don't act blind
Your heart's not a playing card
Reputation shows their hand
So I'd fold now before you're stuck all in

Won't even hold you and you're lying in their bed
'Cause they don't want to
Get it through your head

Degenerate only wants one thing
Don't give it up
I know you're feeling lonely
But you'll be worse when
They've had enough
Had enough
So don't give it up, give it up

You know by now
Snakes are hardest to catch
Until their mouth's around your neck
Smooth on the surface but felt a bite
It's not the life
You've earned your degree
Wise to know cheap talk from flattery
So I'd drop out
Before you're who you hate

Won't even hold you and you let them have their way
'Cause they don't want to
It's just another day

Degenerate only wants one thing
Don't give it up
I know you're feeling lonely
But you'll be worse when
They've had enough
Had enough
So don't give it up, give it up
Degenerate only wants one thing
Don't give it up
I know you're feeling lonely
But you'll be worse when
They've had enough
Had enough
So don't give it up, give it up

I can't be everywhere for everyone all the time
If I could, I would fix this whole world
All I ask of you
Never compromise
Never let the leeches try and suck out your soul

Degenerate only wants one thing
Don't give it up
I know you're feeling lonely
But you'll be worse when
They've had enough
Had enough
So don't give it up, give it up
Degenerate only wants one thing
Don't give it up
I know you're feeling lonely
But you'll be worse when
They've had enough
Had enough
So don't give it up, give it up
