Shivers down their spines,
With every chord you hit,
You can make a crowd forget.
And they swear,
That when you sing .. your words ..
Its as sacred as birth
[Chorus]
The lies you wrote .. have become .. anthems,
How they mend their broken hearts.
And the lines .. you stole .. from story books,
That choke in your voice ..
How it sells them every word of it.
We have heard .. that with a little work,
Your cathartic verse,
Will rid all the pain from earth.
Scream your words .. in their cars.
And help them figure out who they really are,
And to blame their fathers.
[Chorus]
The lies you wrote .. have become .. anthems,
How they mend their broken hearts.
And the lines .. you stole .. from story books,
That choke in your voice ..
How it sells them every word of it.
Can .. this pull .. up the anchor.
So .. you can .. drift away.
Say something .. you honestly .. honestly mean, but
You will never let it.
'Cause you're a hit in shopping malls,
You're the shit that makes us all want to quit.
'Cause you're a hit in shopping malls,
You're the shit that makes us all want to quit.
