[Intro]
Uh, mm, mm, mm-mm
Uh, uh, mm, mm, uh-uh

[Verse 1]
I've never fit into any category, always deemed an outcast
Since I was in Sunday School and all the cool kids said I was weird
It's exactly the same, they say, "Why do you dress that way?
Why do you act that way? Why don’t you dress like me?"
So is that what you really wanna say to me?
You're playin' games with me
Tellin' me if I'm a kind, still you abandon me
Calling me words I'm not, paintin' a picture that's false
You must not know my heart, but I know it isn't your fault
You live in a world and you're clutch, you don't get out very much
Livin' in the fake world, full of facades and chaotic behavior
You pull the lever for fun, yell, "Fire," then you just run

[Chorus]
Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit?
Would you say, "Bye," to your family? Would you post about it?
Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day
Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?
It kills, I wish the best for you
And you think I ignore you too, but
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to

[Verse 2]
Cryin' inside
'Cause nothin' I say ever comes out right
We're on the same side
If I'm honest with you, you just run and hide
I'm bad at public speaking
But I'm speaking now so hear me out (Shut up)
I personally believe that everyone is fully capable
Of more than what they're doing, all of the bullyin'
All of the screwin' around with people they don't even really know, oh (Blah, blah, blah)
Eatin' a hate soufflé, and an angry bitter sorbet
All 'cause you were bored one day
Losin' your wits and your grace

[Chorus]
Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit?
Would you say, "Bye," to your family? Would you post about it?
Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day
Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?
It kills, I wish the best for you
And you think I ignore you too, but
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to

[Bridge]
I am not the government
I am not the fucked up men
I am not a part of anything that is hateful
Love is seepin' out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore
Even for people who hurt and betrayed me (Okay)
I am not the government
I am not the fucked up men (Gross)
I am not a part of anything that is hateful
Love is seepin' out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore
Even for people who hurt and betrayed me

[Chorus]
Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit?
Would you say, "Bye," to your family? Would you post about it?
Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day
Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?
It kills, I wish the best for you
And you think I ignore you too, but
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to

[Outro]
I'm getting out of here

[Letra Traducida al Español]

[Intro]
Uh, mm, mm, mm-mm
Uh, uh, mm, mm, uh-uh

[Verse 1]
Nunca encajo en ninguna categoría, siempre me consideré una marginada
Desde que estaba en la escuela de los domingos y todos los niños decían que era rara
Es exactamente lo mismo, me dicen, "¿Por qué te vistes así?
¿Por qué te comportas así? ¿Por qué no te vistes como yo?"
Con que ¿es eso lo que quieres decirme realmente?
Estás jugando conmigo
Al decirme que si soy de cierta manera, igual me dejarías
Me tildas de cosas que no soy, creas una imagen mía que es falsa
Debes no conocer mi corazón, pero sé que no es tu culpa
Vives en un mundo y eres un embrague, no sales mucho
Vives en un mundo falso, lleno de fachadas y de comportamiento caótico
Bajas la palanca por diversión, gritas, "fuego", y luego simplemente corres

[Chorus]
Simulacro de incendio, ¿qué pasaría si hubiese caído un arma nuclear?
¿Le dirías, "adiós", a tu familia? ¿Lo publicarías?
Simulacro de incendio, si todo fuese consumido por el fuego un día
¿Le darías un abrazo a tu madre antes de que tu casa se quemara?
Esto mata, te deseo lo mejor
Y piensas que yo también te ignoro, pero
En serio, estoy tratando de vivir mi mejor vida
Y de estar presente, y tú también deberías hacerlo, está bien...

[Verse 2]
Llorar por dentro
Porque nada de lo que digo de mi boca sale bien
Estamos en el mismo lado
Si te soy honesta, tú solo corres y te escondes
Soy mala hablando en público
Pero estoy hablando ahora así que escúchame (¡Cállate!)
Personalmente, creo que todos son completamente capaces
De más que lo que están haciendo, todo este acoso
Y todo este griterío con gente que ni siquiera conoces, oh (Blah, blah, blah)
Estás comiéndote un suflé de odio, y un sorbete amargo
Todo porque un día te aburriste
Y perdiste toda tu gracia e ingenio

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
No soy el gobierno
No soy esos tipos enfermos
No soy parte de nada que irradie odio
El amor se filtra por mis poros, ya no le guardo rencor
Ni siquiera a la gente que me lastimó y me traicionó
No soy el gobierno
No soy esos tipos enfermos
No soy parte de nada que irradie odio
El amor se filtra por mis poros, ya no le guardo rencor
Ni siquiera a la gente que me lastimó y me traicionó

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Me voy de aquí
