Lyrics

Special

"Better be good", I've said
Better be bad, I've done
Better be told, what you want
Better believe, in what?

Better to think about it
Better to live without it
Better be told, what you want
Better believe, in what?

Oh, you think you're so special
Oh, you think you're so clean
Oh, you think you're just better than me

Well, first I chew you in
And then I spits you out
Spits you out

Better to leave, I doubt it
Better to talk, about it
Better be told, what you want
Better believe, in what?

And you think you're so special
And you think you're so clean
And you think you're just better than me

Well, first I chew you in
And then I spits you out

I wanna let go
I wanna stay home
And be myself
I wanna let go
I wanna stay home
I'm justified

You think you're so special
You think you're so clean
You think you're just better than me

Well, first I chew you in
And then I spits you out

Oh, you think you're so special
Oh, you think you're so clean
Yeah now, you think you're just better than me

Well, first I chew you in
And then I spits you out
Oh yeah, spits you out
Oh yeah, spits you out

But should I take you in?
Should I take you in?
