Villain

These streets weren’t made to turn us into noble men
We don’t know how to give up, all we do is try again
Can’t afford to shake the ground, so this is how it stays
Asking nicely won’t work out, so we’ll resort to other ways

And it won’t be fun, but we’ll make a living
Climbing to the top
Maybe we’ll die young if we chase the feeling
(or live long enough to become the villain)

I can’t explain to you
How good it sounds
I’m not afraid of you
Is it the other way around?

No shame in getting what you want
By any means
I’ll lead you on, ‘cause my
Intentions aren’t quite what thеy seem

We always end up leaving off
Whеre we begin
This world’s not worth a second
Thought, so just give in
‘cause evil always wins

These streets weren’t made by their creator’s pudgy hands
We didn’t mean to pave them (but we paved them just as planned!)
Can’t afford to take them back without a little blood
We lost our innocence before they taught us what it was

And it wasn’t fun but at least we’re living
Lonely at the top
And if we die off, maybe someone different
(will live long enough to become the villain)

I hate to break it to you
I’ve already won
If I don’t live forever there will
Always be another one

I won’t feel sorry for you if
I crush your dreams
I’d give you back your freedom
But I don’t know what freedom means

There’s no such thing as heroes
But you can play pretend
Stand in my way or join me
That’s just how it ends
‘cause evil always wins
