Swing low, sweet cherry
Make it awful
It's your life, it's your party, it's so awful
Let's start a fire
Let's start a riot
Yeah, it's awful
It was punk
Yeah, it was perfect now it's awful
They know how to break all the girls like you
And they rob the souls of the girls like you
And they break the hearts of girls
Swing low, cherry, cherry
Yeah, it's awful
He's drunk, he tastes like candy, he's so beautiful
He's so deep like dirty water
God, he's awful
You're lost
Oh, where's your daddy?
It's so awful!
And they royalty rate all the girls like you
And they sell it out to the girls like you
To incorporate little girls
Hey, run away with the light
Run away, it's divine
Let's run away, yeah, tonight
And we'll steal the light of the world
Swing low, sweet cherry
Yeah, it's awful
You're gonna ripe for the picking
It's so awful
You've got your youth, don't waste your money
Yeah, it's awful
I was punk, now I'm just stupid
I'm so awful
Oh, just shut up you're only sixteen
If the world is so wrong
Yeah, you can break them all with one song
If the world is so wrong
Yeah, you can take it all with one song
Swing low, sweet cherry
Make it awful
They bought it all, just build a new one
Make it beautiful, yeah...
