Apologize
Hollywood Undead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And that's just the way it is
But we can harmonize
Even if we sound like shit
Don't try to criticize
You bitches better plead the fifth
We've been idolized
Role models for all the kids
You heard us before but that was just a little sample
We're back for more here to set a worse example
Chop it up white stuff let's begin
Big wolves linin' up and scorin' little pigs
Still drunk and we're doin' it again
With a huff and a puff I'm blowin' birds on your shit
Learn it out pitch black grin still white skin
You know I'm hard to kill but real I'm movin' in
I'm puttin' twenty two down while I'm pukin' up blood
You know I'm here to stay well fuck I'm gonna die young
Yo my posse's gettin' big and my posse's gettin' bigger
It's one eighty eight minus one you know the figure.
We don't apologize
And that's just the way it is
But we can harmonize
Even if we sound like shit
Don't try to criticize
You bitches better plead the fifth
We've been idolized
Role models for all the kids.
It's easy to be drunk when it's hard to be sober
I'ma steal your leased rover and pull police over
I'm a mean smoker who reaks of weed odor
Certified street soldier devil on your teens shoulder
Don't invite Scene over he pee's at sleep overs
He asked your sister out so that he could cheat on her
What a creep loner, shit I couldn't sink lower
You just got a mean boner from a Charlie Scene poster
If I'm poppin' a wheelie it means I'm jackin' your bike
Got my middle finger raised as I'm runnin' red lights
I'm known to punch 'em in the dick at the end of a fight
And I never say I'm sorry at the end of the night.
We don't apologize
And that's just the way it is
But we can harmonize
Even if we sound like shit
Don't try to criticize
You bitches better plead the fifth
We've been idolized
Role models for all the kids.
So many dollars stuffed in my wallet
Chain so bling yeah you know that I'm a baller
We can take the blame cause your parents don't wanna
They roll their blunts with your marijuana
How can I run when the pigs got a chopper
I got a gun but they got a lotta
Shootin' at the sky with a mother fuckin' sawed off
God bless a Catholic forgive me father
Now what's a man to do when another holds a Bible
A lot of kids suein me holdin' me liable
Reflections of a kid and they call him suicidal
Dead beat such a sinner but we call him a child
How can you blame him a play ground they're dealin'
The mother still buyin' and the father still preachin'
And now it's up to me cause no one's gonna teach him
Now nobody, nobody needs 'em.
We don't apologize
And that's just the way it is
But we can harmonize
Even if we sound like shit
Don't try to criticize
You bitches better plead the fifth
We've been idolized
Role models for all the kids.
(for all the kids)
Hollywood Undead's song "Apologize" is a rebellious, no-apologies anthem that showcases the band's hardcore and unapologetic attitude. The entire song is a statement against the idea that they need to apologize for their behavior or their art. They are proud of who they are, and they don't care what others think. The chorus of the song is a repetition of the phrase "We don't apologize, and that's just the way it is." This line is a firm rejection of society's pressure to conform.
The verses of the song are focused on self-destructive behavior and the recklessness that defines the band's image. However, it also criticizes how society views and treats individuals that behave in such a manner. The lines "We've been idolized, Role models for all the kids" portrays the irony and hypocrisy of how often society glorifies rebellion and reckless behavior in pop culture, but then criticizes and ostracizes individuals who embody those same characteristics in real life. This line is the band's statement that they are not going to be ashamed of who they are or apologize for it just because it doesn't fit well into society's norms.
Overall, "Apologize" is a defiant, in-your-face statement declaring the band's intentions to live life on their terms, even if that means breaking conventional societal norms. It's an anthem for misfits, outcasts, and non-conformists who refuse to apologize for who they are or their actions. It’s a song that screams, "I'm not sorry for who I am, and if that upsets you, then you better deal with it."

We don't apologize
We refuse to express remorse or regret
And that's just the way it is
This is our attitude and it won't change
But we can harmonize
We can make music together
Even if we sound like shit
Even if the result isn't great
Don't try to criticize
Don't attempt to find fault
You bitches better plead the fifth
You better refuse to answer in order to avoid self-incrimination
We've been idolized
We've been made into heroes
Role models for all the kids
We're setting an example for the younger generation
You heard us before but that was just a little sample
You've listened to us before but that was just a small taste
We're back for more here to set a worse example
We've returned to create an even poorer model
Chop it up white stuff let's begin
Let's start cutting up cocaine
Big wolves lini' up and scorin' little pigs
The powerful are taking advantage of the weak
Still drunk and we're doin' it again
Despite being intoxicated, we're repeating the same behavior
With a huff and a puff I'm blowin' birds on your shit
I'm defecating on your property while exerting effort
Learn it out pitch black grin still white skin
I might look happy but my actions show otherwise and my pale skin is still evident
You know I'm hard to kill but real I'm movin' in
I may be hard to kill, but I'm still advancing towards you
I'm puttin' twenty two down while I'm pukin' up blood
I'm firing a gun as I vomit blood
You know I'm here to stay well fuck I'm gonna die young
I plan on lingering despite my youthful death
Yo my posse's gettin' big and my posse's gettin' bigger
My group of friends is growing in number
It's one eighty eight minus one you know the figure.
The answer is one hundred and eighty-seven
It's easy to be drunk when it's hard to be sober
Being drunk is often easier than being sober
I'ma steal your leased rover and pull police over
I plan on taking your rented car and getting into trouble with the authorities
I'm a mean smoker who reaks of weed odor
I'm an unpleasant smoker with a strong scent of marijuana
Certified street soldier devil on your teens shoulder
I'm a verified criminal who is a bad influence on teenagers
Don't invite Scene over he pee's at sleep overs
Don't welcome 'Scene' into your home, as he urinates during sleepovers
He asked your sister out so that he could cheat on her
'Scene' dated your sister with the intention of being unfaithful
What a creep loner, shit I couldn't sink lower
I can't think of a worse person than 'Scene'
You just got a mean boner from a Charlie Scene poster
You unexpectedly achieved an erection while looking at a poster of Charlie Scene
If I'm poppin' a wheelie it means I'm jackin' your bike
If I'm performing a wheelie on a motorcycle, it means I've stolen it
Got my middle finger raised as I'm runnin' red lights
I'm defiantly extending my middle finger as I drive through red traffic lights
I'm known to punch 'em in the dick at the end of a fight
I have a reputation for assaulting males in the genital area at the conclusion of a physical altercation
And I never say I'm sorry at the end of the night.
Regardless of my actions, I won't apologize at the end of the day
So many dollars stuffed in my wallet
My wallet is overflowing with money
Chain so bling yeah you know that I'm a baller
My flashy jewelry signifies that I'm wealthy and successful
We can take the blame cause your parents don't wanna
We'll accept responsibility because your parents don't want to
They roll their blunts with your marijuana
They use your cannabis to make their marijuana cigarettes
How can I run when the pigs got a chopper
I can't escape because the police have a helicopter
I got a gun but they got a lotta
I have a firearm, but they have more
Shootin' at the sky with a mother fuckin' sawed off
I'm recklessly firing a sawed-off shotgun into the air
God bless a Catholic forgive me father
I'm hoping that the Catholic God will forgive me
Now what's a man to do when another holds a Bible
What should I do when someone condemns me with a religious text?
A lot of kids suein me holdin' me liable
Many children are attempting to sue me for legal damages
Reflections of a kid and they call him suicidal
Struggling with his thoughts, this child has become labeled as suicidal
Dead beat such a sinner but we call him a child
Despite being a poor father and breaking religious laws, we still refer to him as a child
How can you blame him a play ground they're dealin'
It's unfair to criticize him as he grew up in an irresponsible community
The mother still buyin' and the father still preachin'
The mother continues to purchase narcotics and the father remains religious
And now it's up to me cause no one's gonna teach him
Since no one else will, I'm taking on the responsibility of educating him
Now nobody, nobody needs 'em.
Nowadays, no one has a use for such a person
We don't apologize
We refuse to express remorse or regret
And that's just the way it is
This is our attitude and it won't change
But we can harmonize
We can make music together
Even if we sound like shit
Even if the result isn't great
Don't try to criticize
Don't attempt to find fault
You bitches better plead the fifth
You better refuse to answer in order to avoid self-incrimination
We've been idolized
We've been made into heroes
Role models for all the kids.
We're setting an example for the younger generation
