Melanie Martinez - Fire Drill Lyrics

Uh, mm, mm, mm
Uh, uh, mm, mm, uh, uh

I've never fit into any category,
Always deemed an outcast
Since I was in Sunday School
And all the cool kids said I was weird
It's exactly the same, they say:
"Why do you dress that way?
Why do you act that way?
Why aren't you just like me?"
So is that what you really wanna say to me?
You playin' games with me
Tellin' me you're for my kind,
Still, you abandon me
Calling me words I'm not,
Painting a picture that's false

You must not know my heart,
But I know it isn't your fault
You live in a world in your clutch,
You don't get out very much
Living in a fake world,
Filled with facades and chaotic behavior
You pull the lever for fun,
Yell "fire", then you just run

Fire drill
What would happen if a nuke just hit
Would you say bye to your family?
Would you post about it?

Fire drill,
If it all went up in flames one day
Would you give your mom a hug
Before your house burned away?
It kills, I wish the best for you
And you, think I ignore you too, but
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
Be present more, and so should you, it's alright to

Cryin' inside
'Cause nothin' I say ever comes out right
We're on the same side
If I'm honest with you,
You just run and hide
I'm bad at public speaking
But I'm speaking now so hear me out (Shut up)
I personally believe that everyone is fully capable
Of more than what they're doing,
All of the bullying
All of the screwing around
With people they don't even really know, oh (Blah, blah, blah)
Eating a hate soufflé, and an angry bitter sorbet
All 'cause you were bored one day
Losing your wits and your grace

Fire drill
What would happen if a nuke just hit
Would you say bye to your family?
Would you post about it?

Fire drill,
If it all went up in flames one day
Would you give your mom a hug
Before your house burned away?
It kills, I wish the best for you
And you, think I ignore you too, but
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
Be present more, and so should you, it's alright to

I am not the government
I am not the fucked up men
I am not a part of anything that is hateful
Love is seeping out my pores,
I don't hold anger anymore
Even for people who hurt and betray me (Okay)

I am not the government
I am not the fucked up men (Gross)
I am not a part of anything that is hateful
Love is seeping out my pores,
I don't hold anger anymore
Even for people who hurt and betray me

Fire drill
What would happen if a nuke just hit
Would you say bye to your family?
Would you post about it?

Fire drill,
If it all went up in flames one day
Would you give your mom a hug
Before your house burned away?
It kills, I wish the best for you
And you, think I ignore you too, but
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
Be present more, and so should you, it's alright to

I'm getting out of here
