Did someone flip your switch?
Now there is only right or wrong
Can you tell which is which?
But it was so much easier when I was cruel

Why did you leave? You had a home
Why did you travel far abroad so you could sleep with strangers?
You must have heard just how absurd
The words poured out of you, you fraud
I guess you don't know what pain is

So don't pretend you're innocent
Do I look like a fool?
I guess you have forgotten when I was cruel

Oh, when I was cruel and I could make you so unhappy
Lonely cowards followed me like ghouls
And you liked me too when I was cruel
Oh, you know you did

But if you should feel anything, a signal from within
Go back in your laboratory and try to dial it in
But if you should feel anything, a signal from without
Abandon your dreams of vengeance

So don't protest your innocence
The truth is hard to judge
Perhaps you have forgotten when I held a grudge

Oh, when I was cruel and I could make you very sorry
Lonely cowards followed me like ghouls
And you liked me too when I was cruel
Oh, you know you did when I was cruel

Did someone flip your switch?
Now there is only right or wrong
