[Verse 1]
Who put the name of a villain
On the ballot box
Who watched overdose poor souls
Slaving down in the docks
I was there on a lifeboat
All shattered on the rocks
And sometimes I think that death itself
Is kind of unorthodox
[Bridge]
And now you want me to save you
But now you say you're a believer
Where have you been when I gave you
Life
[Verse 2]
Many small town politicians
Put their fate in my hands
But I witnessed the governor
Setting off all the native land
Yeah
I must admit it kind of pissed me off
I bet now you couldn't tell
I'll be your next wave pandemic
House party in your cells
[Bridge]
And now you want me to save you
But now you say you're a believer
Where have you been when I gave you
Life
[Chorus]
Ain't gonna please you, please you
Not today
No no
I hate to break it, break it to you
Not today
[Verse 3]
I'll be your shadow in your conscience
But I don't make no new friends
Snack on my popcorn and stick around
Let's start it off for a happy end
[Bridge]
And now you want me to save you
But now you say you're a believer
Where have you been when I gave you
Life
And now you want me to save you
But now you say you're a believer
Where have you been when I gave you
Life
[Chorus]
Ain't gonna please you, please you
Not today
No no
I hate to break it, break it to you
Not today
Ain't gonna please you, please you
Not today
No no
I hate to break it, break it to you
Not today
[Outro]
Not today
No, no, no
Not today
Not today
