[Verse 1]
Love, it will get you nowhere
You're on your own
Lost in the wild

I'm in control, motherfucker, do you understand? (Aye, sir)

I'm gonna break you
I'm gonna make you

Your ass belongs to me now
[Interlude: Drill Sergeant & (Soldier)]
I will break you, do you understand?
I will break you, do you understand?
I will break you, do you understand?
I will break you, do you understand?
(Aye, sir)
[Pre-Chorus]
You fucking psycho
[Chorus]
Your ass belongs to me now (Yeah)
Your ass belongs to me now, ooh-ah
