Harlot
Legend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are as fake as the smile you make
Nothing you could ever do would make you touchable
You make everybody fucking sick.

Crawl around the walkable.

You have no family
Nobody to show the respect you claim to have
You have nothing in this world
You mean nothing to us all.

Crawl around the walkable
There is nothing for you here
Crawl around the walkable.

You fucking bitch, you never
You never will get respect from me.

You'll get what you deserve. x2

Crawl around the walkable.
There is nothing for you here,




x2
You'll get what you deserve.
