Ba-ba-ba

[Chorus]

You can get down on your knees if you're naughty

Get me, get me bloody, please get me bloody
(Get me, get me bloody, please get me bloody)
[Outro]
I wanna love everyone
Empty every bullet out of every gun
Maybe I can save the world
For every boy and every girl
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back to the place where we began
