Lyrics
The Authority 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.
It's how the hustle goes
See what the jukebox knows
Put my last quater on
I play "authority song"
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me, I'm not scared anymore
I got no secret purpose
I don't seem obvious, do I?
I don't seem obvious, do I?
I don't seem obvious, do
The dj never has it
J.A.M.C., automatic
If those were roy's headphones
You bet he'd play "what goes on"
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me, I'm not scared anymore
I got no secret purpose
I don't seem obvious, do I?
I don't seem obvious, do I?
I don't seem obvious, do I, do I?
Ohh, well I'm here, that means something doesn't it?
Ohh, won't you dance with me a little bit?
Ohh, you don't notice cause the music's too loud.
It's how the hustle goes
See what the jukebox knows
Put my last quater on
I play "authority song"
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me, I'm not scared anymore
Say anything you want
Already, I'm not scared anymore
Honesty or mystery?
Want something else?
Just tell me
I'm not scared anymore
I got no secret purpose
I don't seem obvious, do I? (x8)
