You would give it all up in an instant
I bet you'd torch your house with your own hands
You'd let me break your back so you could lie in it
And never get up, never get up from it
Back into that smack
Do you know you act just like a whore
Beggin' for crack or a sack
You think you revolutionize with every breath you take
You bring me down

Does anybody know who the fuck you are?
Does anybody care how the fuck you are?

You're wasted now and you're gettin' on down with the disco
You're wasted now and you think you want to leave but you don't go
You're wasted now and your pants have been soiled but you disco
You're wasted now and you think there was a point but you don't know

You would take us all down with you if you would
Stab me in the back with your own hands
Never turn around to see if I'm okay
I'll always get up, get up in your face
You're one of the people everybody just loves to hate
Just a person everybody else loves to blame
You think we care
Well every breath you take just brings us down

Does anybody know who the fuck you are?
Does anybody care how the fuck you are?

You're wasted now and you're gettin' on down with the disco
You're wasted now and you think you want to leave but you don't go
You're wasted now and your pants have been soiled but you disco
You're wasted now and you think there was a point but you don't know

So what's your point?
What was your point?
You bring it back for me
Those things I thought left me
That hate, that greed that bleeds me
Become the speed that feeds me

You're wasted now and you're gettin' on down with the disco
You're wasted now and you think you want to leave but you don't go
You're wasted now and your pants have been soiled but you disco
You're wasted now and you think there was a point but you don't know

    I think this song is about a girl who is using all of the unfortunate circumstances in her life to draw attention and sympathy to herself. She's a "whore begging for crack"(ie; a whore for attention). And all the people who buy it are stabbed in the back.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
