＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

Tick-tock, tick-tock, watch your step—

Oh wait, did I just offend the air?

Guess I spoke too loud, whoops, my bad

Didn’t know my breath came with a price tag

Walkin’ on eggshells, tiptoein’ tight

But even silence gets a side-eye

Smiled too wide? That’s a red flag

Didn’t smile? That’s an attack

Wait—what’s the rulebook say today?

Ah, screw it—play it my way

A million eyes, a silent room

Every word’s a ticking boom

C’mon, tell me what’s the move?

(Oh right—shut up, stay cool)

Oops, my bad— I forgot to care!

Oops, my bad— yeah, life's unfair!

If I'm wrong no matter what I do,

Then I might as well just break the rules!

"Freedom’s free," they love to say

(Just sign here, terms apply, okay?)

Speak your mind—but make it bland

Cuz nuance ain't in high demand

Dodge the traps, duck the blame

Oh no, wait, they're all the same!

Someone’s mad? Join the queue

Take a number, get in view

A million eyes, a silent room

Every breath’s a pending doom

Say the word, or play the fool?

(Oh right—shut up, stay cool)

Oops, my bad— I forgot to care!

Oops, my bad— yeah, life's unfair!

If I'm doomed no matter what I do,

Then I might as well just break the rules!

"Hey man, just be yourself!"

Oh sure, lemme check the guidebook on that…

Hmm, let’s see—Nope. Nope. Nope.

Ah, found it—just shut up

Oops, my bad— I forgot to care!

Oops, my bad— yeah, life's unfair!

If the script is rigged, what’s left to lose?

I’ll rewrite it, screw the rules!

"Oops, my bad!..."

"Oops, my bad!..."

"Oops, my bad!..."

"Oops, my bad!..."

"Oh well… guess I'll just shut up then."
