Dare me to jump off this Jersey bridge I bet you never had a Friday night like this Keep it up, keep it up Let's raise our hands

I take a look up in the sky and I see red, Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy, Red for the drink that’s mixed with suicide Everything red

Please, won’t you push me for the last time Let's scream until there’s nothing left So sick of playing, I don’t want this anymore The thought of you is no fucking fun You want a martyr, I’ll be one Because enough's enough We’re done

You told me, “Think about it” Well, I did, now I don’t wanna feel a thing anymore I’m tired of begging for the things that I want I’m over sleeping like a dog on the floor

The thing I think I love will surely bring me pain, Intoxication, paranoia, and a lot of fame

Three cheers for throwing up Pubescent drama queen, you make me sick I make it worse by drinking late

Scream until there’s nothing left So sick of playing, I don’t want to anymore The thought of you is no fucking fun You want a martyr, I’ll be one Because enough's enough We’re done

You told me, “Think about it” Well, I did, now I don’t wanna feel a thing anymore I’m tired of begging for the things that I want I’m over sleeping like a dog on the floor

Imagine living like a king someday A single night without a ghost in the walls And if the bass shakes the earth underground We'll start a new revolution now

(Alright, here we go)

Hail Mary, forgive me Blood for blood, hearts, beating Come at me, now this is war Fuck with this new beat

Now terror begins inside a bloodless vein I was just a product of the street youth rage Born in this world without a voice or say Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain I know you well but this ain't a game Blow the smoke in a diamond shape Dying is a gift so close your eyes and rest in peace

You told me, “Think about it” Well, I did, now I don’t wanna feel a thing anymore I’m tired of begging for the things that I want I’m over sleeping like a dog on the floor

Imagine living like a king someday A single night without a ghost in the walls We are the shadows screaming, "Take us now" We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground

(Shit)

    Well this is kind of like "Smells like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana if you ask me. It's just saying "fuck this we're doing what we want and you cant tell us otherwise." You're killing us by making us fit in and be normal." The "Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy, Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide" line is saying,"you're killing us (red for blood, the wealthy are people forcing them to conform to the society and fit in, the cancer is the society that's slowly killing them, and the drink that's mixed with suicide is alcohol or drugs that are killing them.) In the "You told me think about it, well I did, Now I don't want to feel a thing at all, I'm tired of begging for the things that I want, I'm over sleeping on the floor like a dog" lines in the chorus, they're saying that they don't want to live in a world where they can't live like themselves or have their way. The "Load up on guns, bring your friends, It's fun to lose and to pretend, She's over-bored and self-assured, Oh no, I know a dirty word" verse in "Smells like Teen Spirit" is saying practically the same thing.
