I'm making my escape, making my escape

Everything's in shape, but me

How long can we stay, how long can we stay?

Everything is great, Well how am I doing?

Verse 2:
Breaking both my hands,
Breaking both my hands
Telling me to 'take it like a man'
Take it like a man, I can't
I don't understand, I don't understand
Please repeat whatever you just said
Nothing's making sense,
Well how am I doing?

Verse 3:
They're breaking both my hands,
They're breaking both my hands
They're telling me to 'take it like a man'
Take it like a man, well fuck that
I don't understand, said,
I don't understand
So please repeat whatever you just said
'Cause nothing's making sense,
Well how am I doing?
