[Verse 1]
I was in my new house placing daydreams
Aku di rumah baru hanya melamun
Patching up the crack along the wall
Menambal kerusakan di sepanjang tembok
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
Aku melewatkannya dan tak paham apa yang kuucapkan
'Cause that's where I was when I got the call
Karena di sana aku ketika mendapat telepon itu
[Pre-Chorus]
When the first stone's thrown, there's screamin'
Ketika batu pertama dilempar, ada lolongan
In the streets, there's a raging riot
di jalanan, ada kerusuhan hebat
When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking
Ketika "Butn the bitch," mereka lalai
When the truth comes out, it's quiet
Ketika kebenaran terungkap, semuanya senyap
[Chorus]
So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst
Jadi, mereka pertama membunuh Cassandra karena ia menakutkan
And tried to tell the town
dan mencoba bilang ke seluruh kota
So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
Jadi mereka memenuhi sel dengan ular, aku menyesal telah bilang
Do you believe me now?
apa kau percaya aku sekarang?
[Verse 2]
I was in my tower weaving nightmares
Aku berada di menara menyusun mimpi buruk
Twisting all my smiles into snarls
Mengubah seluruh senyumku menjadi geraman
They say, "What doesn't kill you makes you aware"
Mereka bilang, "Apa yang tidak membunuhmu membuatku waspada"
What happens if it becomes who you are?
Bagaimana jika semuanya menjadikan siapa dirimu?
[Chorus]
So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst
Jadi, mereka pertama membunuh Cassandra karena ia menakutkan
And tried to tell the town
dan mencoba bilang ke seluruh kota
So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
Jadi mereka memenuhi sel dengan ular, aku menyesal telah bilang
Do you believe me now?
apa kau percaya aku sekarang?
[Bridge]
They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time
Mereka tahu, tahu, selama ini tahu
That I was onto somethin'
yang membuatku tertarik pada sesuatu
The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line
Keluarga itu, yang paling serakah, barisan paduan suara Kristen
They all said nothin'
Mereka tak bersuara
Blood's thick, but nothin' like a payroll
Darahnya kental tapi tidak seperti gaji
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
Pasti mereka tidakpernah mellewatkan doa untukku
You can mark my words that I said it first
Kau bisa menjamin kata-kataku yang kukatakan dulu
In a mourning warning, no one heard
Di hari pagi, tak ada yang mendengar
[Verse 3]
I patched up the crack along the wall
Kutambal celah di sepanjang dinding
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
Aku melewatkannya dan lupa apa yang kukatakan
'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all
Karena di sanalah aku kehilangan semuanya
[Chorus]
So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst
Jadi, mereka pertama membunuh Cassandra karena ia menakutkan
And tried to tell the town
dan mencoba bilang ke seluruh kota
So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
Jadi mereka memenuhi sel dengan ular, aku menyesal telah bilang
Do you believe me now?
apa kau percaya aku sekarang?
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
I was onto somethin'
Aku tertarik pada sesuatu
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
They all said nothin'
Mereka diam saja
Blood's thick, but nothin' like a payroll
Darahnya kental tapi tidak seperti gaji
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
Pasti mereka tidakpernah mellewatkan doa untukku
You can mark my words that I said it first
Kau bisa menjamin kata-kataku yang kukatakan dulu
In a mourning warning, no one heard
Di hari pagi, tak ada yang mendengar
[Outro]
When the first stone's thrown, there's screamin'
Saat batu pertama dilempar, terdengar lolongan
In the streets, there's a raging riot
Di jalanan, terjadi kerusuhan mencekam
When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking
Saat muncul "Burn the bitch," mereka menjerit
When the truth comes out, it's quiet
Ketika kebenaran terungkap, suasana hening
It's so quiet
Sangat sepi***
