And double-checked the syntax
I tried to heal your body
But it just kept coming back
You never had a chance
I thought I was a poet
I had so much to say
But now I want to see the blood
I want to make them pay
Yeah, I can see the day
I made a place for children
They wanted all the answers
I gave them all my lectures
And now they're perfect dancers
'Cause I'm a perfect dancer
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
I verified the math And double-checked the syntax I tried to heal your body But it just kept coming back You never had a chance I thought I was a poet I had so much to say But now I want to see the blood I want to make them pay Yeah, I can see the day I made a place for children They wanted all the answers I gave them all my lectures And now they're perfect dancers 'Cause I'm a perfect dancer Sha la la la la Sha la la la la Explain Request ×
