Melanie Martinez - HAVOC

〈Chorus〉
Nothing wrong with a little havoc
It’s fun when it hits the fan
So guillotine their heads by shouting
Cut ‘em off, leave waters red
Nothing wrong with a little chaos
It’s fun when karma comes back
So guillotine their heads by shouting
Cut ‘em off, leave waters red

〈Verse 1〉
This might seem a little naughty
You don’t play by the rules so why should I?
Vengeance is what I’ve been seeking
It’s all swings and roundabouts, about time
You tasted your own medicine (medicine, medicine)
Shoved right down your throat, aspirin
‘Cause I got a migraine from reasonin’ (reasoning, rеasoning)
Not enough empathy to be listеning

〈Chorus〉
Nothing wrong with a little havoc
It’s fun when it hits the fan
So guillotine their heads by shouting
Cut ‘em off, leave waters red
Nothing wrong with a little chaos
It’s fun when karma comes back
So guillotine their heads by shouting
Cut ‘em off, leave waters red
〈Chorus〉
Now you crawl back, enthralled by my song (my song)
It’s too late, can’t reverse what you’ve done
It’s an eye for an eye, and I’m ready to play
Kept picking a fight, tried to keep it at bay
Now my lighthouse has lead you astray
Couldn’t find a cure, no there’s no medicine (medicine, medicine)
Wasted my time, now I’ve got better things
To do with my hours, instead of reasoning (reasoning, reasoning)
With a brick wall when I could just bulldoze it

〈Chorus〉
Nothing wrong with a little havoc (nothing wrong, little havoc)
It’s fun when it hits the fan (when it hits the fan)
So guillotine their heads by shouting (guillotine, heads by shouting)
Cut ‘em off, leave waters red (leaving waters red)
Nothing wrong with a little chaos (nothing wrong, little chaos)
It’s fun when karma comes back (when karma comes back)
So guillotine their heads by shouting
Cut ‘em off, leave waters red

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Cut ‘em off, leave waters red
〈Bridge〉
Drink, taste the blood you infected
Feel anguish dart through your veins
I’ll take the knife you plunged deep in my back
And plunge it straight through your brain (nothing wrong, little havoc, leaving waters red)

〈Chorus〉
Drink, taste the blood you infected (nothing wrong with a little havoc, it’s fun when it hits the fan)
Feel anguish dart through your veins (so guillotine their heads by shouting, cut ‘em off, leave waters red)
I’ll take the knife you plunged deep in my back (nothing wrong with a little chaos, it’s fun when karma comes back)
And plunge it straight through your brain (so guillotine their heads by shouting, cut ‘em off, leave waters red)

〈Outro〉
Don’t feel bad when the havoc rains down

Melanie Adele Martinez (born April 28, 1995) is an American singer-songwriter born in Astoria, Queens, and raised in Baldwin, New York.

Born to Dominican and Puerto Rican parents, she got her start on the Emmy Award-winning TV show The Voice USA at 17 years old. Although she did not win, this lead her to produce her first single “Carousel”, which was used in promos for American Horror Story: Freak Show.

Starting her independent career, Melanie signed with Atlantic Records. More than a year after Melanie’s Dollhouse EP was released, her first studio album Cry Baby made its debut on August 14, 2015, with the likes of Kinetics and One Love as producers of the record. She released her second album called K-12 four years later, on September 6, 2019, counting a total of 13 tracks with themes such as female empowerment and gender equality.

Her unique style of writing, singing, and story-telling has garnered her enormous fanbase— songs like “Mrs. Potato Head” and “Dollhouse” yield a touch of social commentary, while “Alphabet Boy” and “Cry Baby” give listeners a glimpse into her personal life.

She cites Lana Del Rey, Regina Spektor, Feist, Fiona Apple and Marina and the Diamonds as major influences on her music.

In addition to her accounts on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, Melanie also uses Tumblr, YouTube, and her official website to connect with fans.
