Melanie Martinez – The Principal lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sneaky, greedy
Money seeking
Always peeping
Fucking creeping
Got it on the down low
So you think you always squeaky
What if I had told your mother
Her son was a cruel motherfucker?

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not just me, it's everybody who thinks that you're fucking ugly
When you come and hurt us, just so you can get your money
First to follow the leader was being possessed by demons

[Chorus]
I tried to make you listen, but you want it your way, right?
Killing kids all day and night, prescription pills and online fights
Shooting at the angels while claiming you're the good guy
All you want is cash and hype
Fuck our dreams and that’s not right
The principal
Oh, it’s the principal
Oh, it’s the principal
Oh, it’s the principal
Oh, it’s the principal

[Verse 2]
Complicated, overrated
You’re fixated, I’m belated
By the separation in this place that you’ve created
Fuck all of your rules and guidelines
You shouldn’t even be on the sidelines

[Pre-Chorus]
Can’t you see that we're all hurting?
If you’re not teaching, we’re not learning
Excuse me, how much are you earning?

[Chorus]
I tried to make you listen, but you want it your way, right?
Killing kids all day and night, prescription pills and online fights
Shooting at the angels while claiming you're the good guy
All you want is cash and hype
Fuck our dreams and that’s not right
The principal
Oh, it’s the principal
Oh, it’s the principal
Oh, it’s the principal
Oh, it’s the principal

[Bridge]
You don't know the pain that you are causing
Yeah, your actions hurt, so do your words
The more you try to fuck us over
We will be there yelling at your front door

[Outro]
I'm trying to make you listen but you won't, it’s your way, right?
