I hear you on the radio
you permeate my screen, it's unkind but
if I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone
on principle alone

Hey megalomaniac
you're no Jesus
yeah, you're no f***ing Elvis
wash your hands clean of yourself, baby
and step down, step down, step down

If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes so you would see
that all of us are heaven sent
and there was never meant to be only one
to be only one

Hey megalomaniac
you're no Jesus
yeah, you're no f***ing Elvis
wash your hands clean of yourself, baby
and step down, step down, step down

Step down, step down
ooh, step down

Yeah
you're, you're, you're
you're no Jesus
you're not Elvis
you're no Jesus
you're no Jesus
you're no Elvis
you're no answer

Step down, step down
step down, step down, hey, hey

Hey megalomaniac
you're no Jesus
yeah, you're no f***ing Elvis
wash your hands clean of yourself, baby
and step down, step, step down
step down, oh step down
oh, step down, step down
