Playing Your Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hey, you!
You're way ahead of me
You're drunk on apathy
You burned right out
Hey, you!
You're just a cripple now
We sell for millions now
They sold you out
And, oh
I had to tell them you were gone
I had to tell them they were wrong
And now they're playing your song
Hey, you!
Don't take it out on me
You're bored of everything
You burned right out
Hey, you!
So bored and cynical
It's fucking wonderful
They sold you out
And, oh
They've bought and sold it all, it's gone
They've taken it and built a mall
And now they're playing your song
Their innocence tastes like candy, yeah
Get so fat on it, it's a tragedy, yeah
Oh, I can help you come to me, yeah
Just bring your innocence to me, yeah
Hey, you!
Don't you dare blame me
You trusted everything
They sold you out
Hey, you!
Now when they call it cool
It's just so mean and cruel
They sold you out
And, oh
They bought and sold it all, it's gone
And every note of it is wrong
And now they're playing your song
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And, oh
They've bought and sold it all, it's gone
They've taken it and built a mall
And now they're playing your song
They're playing, playing your song
They're playing, playing your song
They're playing, playing your song
