Woke up beside Thames River
And lost my mind on New York Glitter
I met a man, a saint, a stripper
Took a dance, but didn't tip her
Oh, why'd I do that?
There's always sex played on the telly
I always fall for what they're selling
So obsessed with other people's problems
Leave mine out until they're rotten
Oh, why'd I do that?
I'm waiting for the show to start
It's hard for me to say
That I don't care what burns
As long as I am entertained
So don't cry for me
I'll admit I'm not perfect, but I'm trying to be
Yeah, I'd die to see
All the chaos and drama if it don't come for me
'Cause everyone loves all the sinners and cheats
It's a world up in flames, get your front row seats
Don't cry for me
I'm just a part of this fucked up machine
Last cigarette, but I'm no quitter
I start a fight so I feel better
I did some shit and they all lost it
Got attention like I wanted
Oh, why'd I do that?
They're waiting for the show to start
It's beautiful and strange
But do you care what burns
As long as I can entertain?
So don't cry for me
I'll admit I'm not perfect, but I'm trying to be
Yeah, I'd die to see
All the chaos and drama if it don't come for me
'Cause everyone loves all the sinners and cheats
It's a world up in flames, get your front row seats
Don't cry for me
I'm just a part of this fucked up machine
La, la la, la la la la
La, la la la
La, la la, la la la la
La, la la la
In a world made of Legos
We're just barefoot, on the run
If everyone's innocent
Then who's holding the gun?
So don't cry for me
I'll admit I'm not perfect, but I'm trying to be
Yeah, I'd die to see
All the chaos and drama if it don't come for me
'Cause everyone loves all the sinners and cheats
It's a world up in flames, get your front row seats
Don't cry for me
I'm just a part of, I'm just a part of
I'm just a part of, I'm just a part of
This fucked up machine
