[Part I: Cassandra]

[Verse]
I was in my new house placing daydreams
Patching up the crack along the wall
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
Cause that’s where I was when I got the call

[Pre-Chorus]
When the first stone's thrown, there's screamin’
In the streets, there's a raging riot
When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking
When the truth comes out, it's quiet

[Chorus]
So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
Do you believe me now?
Do you believe me now?

[Part II: mad woman]

[Verse]
What did you think I'd say to that?
Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?
They strike to kill, and you know I will
You know I will
What do you sing on your drive home?
Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?
Does she smile?
Or does she mouth, "Fuck you forever"?

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy
What about that?
And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

[Chorus]
And there’s nothing like a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
No one likes a mad woman
You made her like that
And you’ll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
You find something to wrap your noose around
There’s nothing like a mad woman

[Part III: Cassandra/mad woman]

[Bridge]
They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time
That I was onto somethin'
The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line
They all said nothin'
Blood's thick, but nothin’ like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
You can mark my words that I said it first
With a mourning warning, no one heard
So I'm taking my time, taking my time
Cause you took everything from me
Watching you climb, watching you climb
Over people like me
The master of spin has a couple side flings
Good wives always know
She should be mad, should be scathing like me, but
But no one likes a mad woman

[Refrain]
What a shame she went mad
You made her like that
What a shame she went mad

[Part IV: I Did Something Bad]

[Intro]
They say I did something bad

[Chorus]
They say I did somethin' bad
Then why's it feel so good?
They say I did somethin' bad
But why's it feel so good?
Most fun I ever had
And I'd do it over and over and over again if I could
It just felt so good, good

[Chorus]
Why's it feel so good?
They say I did somethin' bad
But why's it feel so good?
Most fun I ever had
And I'd do it over and over and over again if I could
It just felt so good, good

[Part V: Cassandra/I Did Something Bad]

[Bridge]
Cause they knew, they knew, they knew the whole time
I was onto somethin'
The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line
They all said nothin'
Blood's thick, but nothin' like a payroll
Bet they never said a prayer for my soul
You can mark my words, I said it first
With a mourning warning, no one heard

[Refrain]
They say I did somethin' bad
So why's it feel so good, good

[Part VII: Cassandra/mad woman/I Did Something Bad]

[Refrain]
You can mark my words, I said it first
Do you believe me now, do you believe me now?
What a shame she went mad
Do you believe me now?
They say I did something bad
Do you believe me now?
What a shame she went mad
Do you believe me now?
They say I did something bad

[Part VIII: Cassandra]

[Outro]
When the first stone's thrown, there's screamin'
In the streets, there's a raging riot
When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking
When the truth comes out, it's quiet
