Let the bodies hit the floor

Let the bodies hit the floor

Beaten why for (why for)

Can't take much more

Two, nothing wrong with me

(Now)

A sense of finality is expressed, hinting at reaching a breaking point, possibly a culmination of frustration or aggression.

Push me again (again)

This is the end

(Here we go, here we go, here we go now)

One, nothing wrong with me
