Freak out And give in Doesn't matter what you believe in Stay cool And be somebody's fool this year 'Cause they know Who is righteous, what is bold So I'm told Who wants honey As long as there's some money Who wants that honey? Hipsters unite Come align for the big fight to rock for you But beware All those angels with their wings glued on 'Cause deep down They are frightened and they're scared If you don't stare Who wants honey As long as there's some money Who wants that honey? Let me out Let me out Let me out Let me out Tell me all of your secrets Cannot help but believe this is true Tell me all of your secrets I know, I know, I know Should have listened when I was told Who wants honey As long as there is some money Who wants that honey? Let me out Let me out Let me out Let me out
