[Verse 1]
I still act like I did back in the sixth grade
Shit stained, snotty nose, whiny little bitch face
Throwing temper tantrums in the bathroom
Toothpaste all over my switch blade
I wonder if I carved this grin into my skin
My life would be a joke then I'd feel better than I did
I wonder if I carved this grin into my skin
My life would be a joke
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah now I’m back (Oh oh oh oh)
Oh, look at that (Oh oh oh oh)
You're talking smack
I've been through hell but now I’m back
[Chorus]
When death comes knocking at your door
And nothing's left worth fighting for
Say a little prayer and pull the rug
Show me what you're made of
Kingdom come is falling down
No one's left to save you now
Say a little prayer and pull the rug
Show me what you're made of
[Verse 2]
It's been 21 days since I played "The News"
CNN fucks with my brain and mood
There's only so much that a man can take
Thinking 'bout death in the office place
I stopped sending texts again
I wonder if I keep this up, will I still have friends?
People get offended when I don’t reply
I feel relieved by the silence, but I don’t know why
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah now I'm back (Oh oh oh oh)
Oh, look at that (Oh oh oh oh)
You’re talking smack
I've been through hell but now I'm back
[Chorus]
When death comes knocking at your door
And nothing's left worth fighting for
Say a little prayer and pull the rug
Show me what you’re made of
Kingdom come is falling down
No one's left to save you now
Say a little prayer and pull the rug
Show me what you're made of
Show me what you're made of
[Bridge]
I walk alone, down the street
Don't need your prayer, no sympathy
I wear my pride, round my neck
So it's best you watch your steps
Cause I've been up, I've been down
I've been kicked out on the ground
But I stand tall where I'm at
Been to hell but now I'm back
[Chorus]
When death comes knocking at your door
And nothing's left worth fighting for
Say a little prayer and pull the rug
Show me what you're made of
Kingdom come is falling down
No one's left to save you now
Say a little prayer and pull the rug
Show me what you're made of
Show me what you're made of
