lyrics

You were unsurprised by the aftermath
As they came in and they took your things
Like a hologram being carpet-bombed
You just sat there and you took it in
While I flinched like a bird
Getting my neck snapped on live TV

You took the bait and now you're gone
They charmed you out
Hook, line, and sinker
You took the bait and now you're gone
What a surprise

You were underwhelmed by the consequence
Of the lack of just fitting in
You had auto-tuned your apologies
Still, the questions keep coming in
And meanwhile, all I hear is the clapping on live TV

You took the bait and now you're gone
He charmed you out
Hook, line, and sinker
You took the bait and now you're gone
What a surprise

You made the bed you’re lying on
You made the bed you’re lying on
They're lying with you
You made the bed you’re lying on
What a surprise
