Is selling out all you ever wanna do?
Noise experiments will have to pull me through
You've got all the money in your pocket and you're throwing out singles
left and right
killed originality to sell as much as you can
you got it
a million records sold
you have it
another Grammy and gold
here we are now
here we are now
going all out, hey
hi, we're sell outs
hey, we're sell outs
buy our album today
yeah, you hate to brainwash entire crowds
sure sounds like you need to go and tune
you have got everybody's eyes
looking straight at you left and right
don't kill originality and blast it straight through the sky
here we are now
here we are now
forever, always, hey
hi, we're sell outs,
hey, we're sell outs
buy our album today
"aw yeah"
is selling out all you ever wanna do?
we've still got everything left to do
if there's a right, I know what's wrong, and it's getting stranger every day
it is to the society, and now there's nothing left to say
hi, we're sell outs,
hey, we're sell outs
after all this time
we went all out,
now we're all gone,
yeah, we're the sell outs
good-bye

Get Your Attention
03:52

Hey there, I think I know you
You're from so long ago
Something like a little dis
came to take the world
why is it that we all need a chance to
get your attention?
why is it that I find it so hard to
guess your intentions?
So far from where you'll leave to
I just can't let you go
Maybe my simple wish
could pay me back any time
Well, wait, there's no more lead to
their superficial pot of gold
the maelstrom of all the things
is blinding me all the time

Forbidden

I'm not sure if I was meant to
speak what's on your mind
Girl, troubled life has got me so high
I love you, overdrive
They had it going
it sets them off
you had it going
now gets me off
You say "there's just enough
time between
there's no good in this type of thing,
why don't you let it go?"
I need a reason to kill the seasons
it's just another way
Oh my god, you have left it to die
I love you all the time
They had it going
it sets them off
you had it going
now send me off
forbidden, forbidden
we had it going
it sets them off
you had it going
now gets me off

You wanna stick an arrow straight into the line
you gotta land that lethal blow
What is up and wrong with everyone
who has got useless need to know?
You're the only one that's on my mind
you are something I cannot define
well now I'm pretty sure that you're the one
who would help me fix my stereo
I'd like to hope you will never know
you are the way I prefer to go
There's no one else I'd rather play to
so I'm still here and I'm waiting for you
I could never ever be so sure
if you're there or just a blur
Now in the mindset of the only girl
who would never have to run away
I could guess what you could see
and I don't think that you see me
So what is up and wrong with all of you
who have got another date to blow?
The ones out there will never know
you are the way I prefer to go
There's no one else I'd rather play to
so I'm still here and I'm waiting for you
The ones out there have always known
you really can put on a show
If there's no one else you'd rather play to
then I'm still here and I'm waiting for you

New Direction
03:24
|

|
The lines in her picture are crystal clear
they make a sign pointing away from here
I just couldn't exist without the best of the rest
Sideways glances and sterile trances won't get me there
And I can't focus my mind
like a spazer beam
Got things to throw away
And one to give
She glows
End of day is like farewell in reverse
Creeps down the walls, and yeah, you're up
Don't let it crawl through, it's the way I care
Hundred percent's the only way I dare
Sure what's up front
is fading away
I think that sounds cliche
Until I give
She glows
She likes my new direction

You're just trash
Just throw it away I forgot the rest of the song, so I'm gone

Much Appreciated

Could've been with you if I had the choice
You were never here, so listen to my voice
Now I know how I'm indebted to you
Hmm-mm
Don't come to see me, I'm still not worth the time
Not sure where you went, but I feel so spent
Just know that you're much appreciated
If you really cared for more, you would've gone and tried to save it
Could've gone to you, but I had no choice
You will never hear, so listen to my voice
Won't you come here?
You know when and where
Just know that you're much appreciated
If you really cared for more, you would've gone and tried to save it
Just know that you're much appreciated
Imitators are in the mirrors, they want to complicate it

The Mind of the Artist
04:43
|
|||
|
I was meant to see it
through you, really think so?
Run around a while
and mess up on the style well
Faces are street-sweeping
free-lurking on the cheap
It will just spin and go,
but that kills the attitude
Oh no, I think I'm falling for you, too
It's just as priceless as we thought it would be
Free yourself of all the voices that are going into your head
Now you can rest assured knowing I'm not dead
again
I've burned the bridge between genius and insanity
I think I'm falling in
and it's pretty great
I was meant to see you,
threw you, really sink though?
Invisibility is something I can't find
Faces are street-sweeping
Free stalking on the cheap
You can just spin and go
but that kills the attitude
Oh no, your shining sparks the mellow memory
Yeah, you're perfect, so stay in the picture please
but WAIT, move over, it's my turn to rule
Once again
Looking back again, you never really said what I was
anyway
Right about now, you've got nothing nothing else to lose
Don't care about the things of everyday every day
Your body is subject to the mind of the artist, yeah

Wish people wouldn't call you
my better half
because
you're the better three-fourths
Don't ever listen to a word they say
because
it's only trash to me
The only mistake that you made
was that you thought you made one
So please remove my hands from my wrists
It is a favorite of mine to do to you
Wish people wouldn't call you
the better nothing
because
look at the words I found
The only mistake that you made
was that you thought you made one
so please pretend that they don't exist
and please remove my hands from my wrists
It is a favorite of mine to do to you
It is a favorite of mine to you
