We all pretend to be heroes on the good side

Some things are black, some are white—how can you look through such colored glasses?

You're the good person, they're the bad person

Your boring world is just black and white

So many shades of gray, oh, how can you still not know?

Good easily fades away, don't be so quick to like me, because

I'm a villain. Why did you think I wasn't? You don't know I'm a nasty little devil.

I'm a villain. Why did you think I wasn't? A devil you never noticed is breathing inside you.

I'm killing someone maybe, you're killing someone maybe

I'm killing someone maybe, you're killing me maybe

We all pretend to be heroes on the good side

But what if we're the villain on the other?

Am I good, am I bad? Ay. Are you good, are you bad? Ay.

The person I love the most is a total dog to someone else, say.

Are we good, are we bad? Ay. What is good, what is bad? Ay.

The person you hate the most is someone's beloved child, say.

So many shades of gray, oh, how can you still not know?

Good easily fades away, don't be so quick to like me.

I'm a villain. Why did you think I wasn't? You don't know I'm a nasty little devil.

You're a villain. Why did you think I wasn't? A devil you never noticed is breathing inside you.

Are we villains? Why did you think we weren't? You don't know we're nasty little devils.

We are all villains. Why did you think we weren't? Look at us, like devils you never noticed.

I'm killing someone maybe, you're killing someone maybe

I'm killing someone maybe, you're killing me maybe

We all pretend to be heroes on the good side

But what if we're the villain on the other?
