Revenge (Extended 2)

Verse 1

I come to work, I clock in late

You scream at me, "This is gonna be your fate"

This job just ain't workin' out

You never know what I'm talkin' 'bout

You never even listen when I speak

You think I'm dumb, you think I'm naive

And while you laugh, oh, you'd better believe

I'm plottin' revenge, my revenge

Chorus

You see me smilin', but that's just a mask

I'm waitin' 'til the last minute for you to ask

About this project that's due

But little do you know, I've been plottin' revenge

Oh, revenge, my revenge

Verse 2

You're always braggin' 'bout your wife

You just got married, so you got her for life

But lately, I've noticed somethin' strange

You're never home, and she's actin' real strange

Well, I got a secret I've been keepin'

I saw her with the delivery guy last week, babe

Well, you might think that I'm crazy, but believe

I'm plottin' revenge, my revenge

Chorus

I'll tell you when the time is right

Then you can spend your weekends fightin'

But until then, I'll hold my tongue

'Cause I'm plottin' revenge, my revenge

Bridge

Don't think for one second that it's gonna be easy

I'm gonna make it hurt, and I'm gonna make it messy

It's gonna take some time and a whole lot of patience

But when the moment comes, I'll take great satisfaction

Verse 3

When it's time to go, I'm gonna quit with style

'Cause I know that it'll keep you cryin' for a while

Well, before I leave, I've got a little surprise

I'm gonna put some poison in your coffee and your fries

No, that's too cliché and it's illegal, anyway

I think I'll just call you up and tell you everything today

Oh, you know that I've been waitin', and believe

I'm plottin' revenge, my revenge

Chorus

You better watch what you say to me

'Cause there ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do to see

This whole place goin' up in flames

'Cause I'm plottin' revenge, revenge, revenge

Outro

Oh, revenge (revenge), my revenge (revenge, revenge)

(Revenge) revenge, revenge (revenge), oh, revenge

Revenge, revenge, revenge (revenge),

Verse 4

Monday mornin', I walk in with a grin

You don't know that the walls are closin' in

I got folders in my desk you've never seen

Copies of the emails, every nasty thing you've been

Sayin' 'bout the board, sayin' 'bout the staff

I've been keepin' every receipt, every draft

And when the CEO comes walkin' through that door

I'll be sittin' pretty, and you'll be on the floor

Pre-Chorus

So go ahead and raise your voice

Act like you've got any choice

Every word you say to me

Is another nail in your own coffin, honey

Chorus

I've been playin' nice for way too long

Now I'm writin' down your name in a different song

You can keep the corner office, keep the chair

'Cause I'm plottin' revenge, and I'm almost there

Oh, revenge, my revenge

Verse 5

You think your little kingdom's gonna stand

With your greasy handshake and your phony plans

But I've been takin' notes since my very first day

And the things I've got on you, you can't explain away

I saw the invoices you tried to hide

I heard the way you talkin' 'bout the other side

You've been skimming off the top for years

And pretty soon, the whole department's gonna hear

Pre-Chorus

You can threaten me with HR

You can tell them I'm bizarre

But the truth is gonna land

Like a hammer in your hand

Chorus

I've been playin' nice for way too long

Now I'm writin' down your name in a different song

You can keep the corner office, keep the chair

'Cause I'm plottin' revenge, and I'm almost there

Oh, revenge, my revenge

Bridge

It's the quiet ones you gotta watch out for

The ones who never slam a single door

We just smile and nod and file it all away

Then we strike when you least expect it, someday

Verse 6

Friday evenin', five o'clock on the dot

I walk in with a box and I take my spot

Right in front of your desk, in front of everyone

And I read out loud the things that you have done

I got witnesses, I got dates, I got the proof

And you're sittin' there sweatin' through your suit

Then I drop my badge and walk out slow

Leavin' you to answer for the seeds you sow

Pre-Chorus

And it ain't about the money, ain't about the fame

It's about the way you never learned my name

So when the dust has settled, and you're all alone

Just remember who you stepped on to get that throne

Chorus

I've been playin' nice for way too long

Now I'm writin' down your name in a different song

You can keep the corner office, keep the chair

'Cause I'm plottin' revenge, and I'm almost there

Oh, revenge, my revenge

Final Chorus

So here's to every Monday that I spent

Bitin' my tongue while you were arrogant

I hope you're happy in the mess you made

'Cause I'm plottin' revenge, and I got it made

Oh, revenge, my revenge

Outro

Oh, revenge (revenge), my revenge (revenge, revenge)

(Revenge) revenge, revenge (revenge), oh, revenge

Yeah, I finally did it (revenge), yeah, I finally told 'em (revenge)

I've been waitin', schemin' (revenge), and I got my sweet revenge

My revenge (revenge), oh, revenge (revenge)

Revenge, revenge, revenge
