I'm scared of dying
You're set on fire
Am I a liar? Ooh
(No gun required)
I'm scared of dying
No gun required, ooh
My skin is fire, so desired

Is that desire?
Is that on fire?
Am I a liar?
Or should we lay down?
My skin is fire
It's so desired
No gun required
Or will this help me lay down?

I'm scared of dying
It's fine
Oh, what's a fiver?
Being young in the city
Believe in saying something

Would you please listen?
Would you please listen?
We can see it's missing
When you bleed, say so we know
Being young in the city
Believe in saying something
Would you please listen?
Would you please listen?
We can see it's missing
When you bleed, say so we know

Council
Being enlisted
Man, I kinda miss it, hey
I'm a designer
Unite pariahs
Am I a liar?
Or will this help me lay down?
Kids don't want rifles
They want Supreme
No gun required
Or will this help me lay down?

We're scared of dying
It's fine
What's a fiver?
Being young in the city
Believe in saying something

Would you please listen?
Would you please listen?
We can see it's missing
When you bleed, say so we know
Being young in the city
Believe in saying something

Don't have to say that
It's all on fire
I'll wear a wire
So if you want me to lay down
My skin is fire
It's so desired
No gun required
Or will you help me lay down?

I'm scared of dying
It's fine
Oh, what's a fiver?
Being young in the city
Believe in saying something
In saying something
In saying something
