Killjoy

Why you gotta go wreck everything
Who dropped dead and made you the queen
I see you freak out at every joke
Take your Xanax honey and leave me alone

You are the killjoy
You are the killjoy
Yes you are

You got your fire and brimstone smoking gun
Like the holiest witch-hunt Puritan
And you tell me what to say, tell me what to be
Honey look into the mirror tell me what you see

You are the killjoy
K-k-k-killjoy
Yes you are

What you fear is in your mirror
What you hate is what you are

You are the killjoy
K-k-k-killjoy
Yes you are

You are the killjoy
K-k-k-killjoy
Darling, yes you are

You are the killjoy
K-k-k-killjoy
Yes you are

You are the killjoy
K-k-k-killjoy
Honey, yes you are

You are the killjoy
