Lyrics and translation

Original

Are you tired?
I can tell that you're tired.
Your eyes turn gray, you beg me to be silent.
You said I can't read your mind, but I'm reading it just fine.
You think you're so misunderstood, the black cat of your neighborhood.
Tough luck, my boy, your time is up.
I'll break it first, I've had enough of waiting 'til you lie and cheat.
Just like you did to the actress before me.
Ooh, she doesn't even know.
You won't be missed, I'm glad to see you go.
Since we're spilling secrets, does your mother even know?
You demoralized, effaced me just to feed your frail ego.
When you're screaming at the TV, cussing out opposing football teams.
You said I'd never understand the things that make a man a man.
Tough luck, my boy, your time is up.
I'll break it first, I've had enough of waiting 'til you lie and cheat.
Just like you did to the actress before me.
Oops, she doesn't even know.
You won't be missed, I'm glad to see you. . . I should congratulate thee for so nearly convincing me.
I'm not quite as smart as I seem, that I'm allowed, not nobody.
My accent and music are dumb, your tattoos are no better on. The proof says you're tragic, you suck.
The truth is that's just tough tough luck.
Tough tough luck.
Tough tough luck. Tough luck, my boy, your time is up.
I'll break it first, I've had enough of waiting 'til you lie and cheat.
Just like you did to the actress before me.
Ooh, she doesn't even know.
You won't be missed, I'm glad to see you go
