If you do not do what you're told to do when you're told to do it, 
You will be punished
Do you understand?
(Aye, sir)
If you leave my base without proper authorization, 
I will hunt you down and throw your ass in jail 
Do you understand?
(Aye, sir)
I can't hear you
(Aye, sir!)
Scream it!
(Aye, sir!)
Your ass belongs to me now
(Aye, sir!)

Love, it will get you nowhere
You're on your own
Lost in the wild
So come to me now
I could use someone like you
Someone who'll kill on my command
And asks no questions

I'm gonna make you
I'm gonna break you
I'm gonna make you
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
Your ass belongs to me now

Are you a human drone?
(Aye, sir!)
Are you a killing machine?
(Aye, sir!)
I'm in control, motherfucker, do you understand?
(Aye, sir!)

Your mind is just a program
And I'm the virus
I'm changing the station
I'll improve your thresholds
I'll turn you into a super drone (super drone)
And you will kill on my command
And I won't be responsible

I'm gonna make you
I'm gonna break you
I'm gonna make you
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
Your ass belongs to me now

Are you a psycho killer? 
Say "I'm a psycho killer"
(I am a psycho killer)
Scream it!
(I am a psycho killer)
Show me your war face
(AH!)
You are a pussy
I said show me your war face
(AH!)

I'm gonna make you
I'm gonna break you
I'm gonna make you
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
Your ass belongs to me now

I will break you, do you understand?
I will break you, do you understand?
I will break you, do you understand?
I will break you, do you understand?
(Aye, sir!)

You fucking psycho
Your ass belongs to me now
Your ass belongs to me now
