Stupidville

[Verse 1]
I've been running with the crazies my whole life
I've been pushing up the daisies, I'm still alright
I've been bullied into silence, inside out
I've been promising a diamond to myself
I'm getting thicker in the skin but my tolerance is weak
I'll pull the trigger and begin so the others can speak
I've got this sign, I've got this tag hanging on me
Wildflowers may be sown but they have enemies

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a fire drill
Out in Stupidville
Stay against your will
Out in Stupidville

[Chorus]
Stupidville, Stupidville, Stupidville, Stupidville

[Spoken Interlude]
You can hide no longer
You have attracted the attention of the hive
You now have the world looking directly at you
[?] engaged

[Verse 2]
The window to my soul is clean, it's not dirty
Why should pretty girls be hated for what's unholy?
If she's anonymous enough, does she escape the cliché?
If she's defined from where she's born, will she be on display?

[Spoken Interlude]
Around mid August 2012, a party took place
In a small town in Ohio known as Steubenville
The town of Steubenville has been good at keeping this quiet
When a star football team attempted...

[Pre-Chorus]
(I can't think, I can't breathe)
It's a fire drill
(Cause they're rotten from the tree)
Out in Stupidville
(There's a price you have to pay)
Stay against your will
(But the cruelty is free)
Out in Stupidville

[Chorus]
Stupidville, Stupidville, Stupidville, Stupidville

[Spoken Interlude]
We will not say [?]
[?] group of young men [?] sport
Got the pass because of athletic ability
The football players [?] high school [?] themselves rape group
And began taking advantage of an underage girl
The girl was sexually assaulted, molested, raped
And [?] unconscious from party to party

[Pre-Chorus]
(I can't think, I can't breathe)
It's a fire drill
(Cause they're rotten from the tree)
Out in Stupidville
(There's a price you have to pay)
Stay against your will
(But the cruelty is free)
Out in Stupidville

[Outro]
Stupidville, Stupidville, Stupidville, Stupidville
