(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you doin' to me?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you want from me?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you doin' to me?
What you want from me?
You're just fucking killing me!

Everyday people
Attempt to find the ultimate sign
As the kids come down from the road of the block
I get chills when I hear them cry
As I picked him up I cleared his eyes
If it ain't worth the try?
In these dying times it's hard to change
You're calling in my ear and I hear.

(Yeah yeah yeah)
Now we're falling to the ground
(Yeah yeah yeah)
So get your hands up!

(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you doin' to me?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you want from me?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you doin' to me?
What you want from me?
You're just fucking killing me!

Oh no officer, please no don't draw your gun
I'm on the run it's a state of mind
See these banking corporates fake and whine
Make you live the life they define
Do you even know what's going on?
I don't mean to sound miserable
It's written all along and I hear

(Yeah yeah yeah)
Are we headed to the end?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
So get your hands up!

(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you doin' to me?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you want from me?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you doin' to me?
What you want from me?
You're just fucking killing me!

This time around we shall march to battle
And bring victory to the people
Isn't that what you want?
Isn't that what we've wanted all along?
Watch the outcome
I'll give you the outcome!

(Yeah yeah yeah)
Now we're falling to the ground
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Is this the end?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
I guess we'll never wake up
(Yeah yeah yeah)
So get your hands up!

(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you doin' to me?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you want from me?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you doin' to me?
What you want from me?
You're just fucking killing me!

(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you doin' to me?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you want from me?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
What you doin' to me?
What you want from me?
You're just fucking killing me!
You're just fucking killing me!
You're just fucking killing me!




You're just fucking killing me!
You're just fucking killing me!
