Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
They are argumentative
They don't know another way
Got them foaming at the lips
Hung on everything I say
Just the fact that I exist
Is a "fuck you" in the face
Of the everything that is
And the everything I'll change
[Chorus]
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
[Verse 2]
What's the price of the game you play?
Who are we to look away?
The door is closed, I'm sad to say
We've already lost when we asked to play
You were fucked when you were born
Foregone conclusion, ending shown
The fix is in and you're not going
Meet you down where the have-nots join in
And what's the price of the game you play?
And who are we that look away?
There's a word for it when you say
We already lost when you asked to play
Greased up for your big debut
Bracing now for what they'll do
You're on a spot for the boys to view
Those motherfuckers, well, they'll just love you
[Chorus]
They'll just love you
They'll just love
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
[Verse 3]
And now that I've had a taste
I want more and I want more
Isn't that what all these hungry hands and mouths are for?
You can redefine "enough"
To see how much you can hoard
It still wouldn't fill you up
Even if the world was yours
[Bridge]
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
They'll just love you
