Sing they tell me so all the children can hear. 

Sing I tell them so all can know you can't. 

Sing they say so that people will adore them. 

Sing I say so people can know them. 

Sing because I am her prisoner. 

Sing because you are worthless. 

Sing for me. 

Sing for them. 

Sing the melody everybody loves. 

Sing the melody no one knows. 

Won't you just sing?

Won't you just sing with me? Like we used too.
