Sound Man/Low Fidelity

Lyrics

Part 1: Sound Man [Intro] What? [Verse 1] This microphone shocks my lips Am I being judged? These cable cords catch my feet Am I about to fall? [Pre-Chorus 1] He is a simple man, he has a simple plan He wants to make things sound beautiful But he can't take the stage, he can't contain his rage He's got the monitors all the way up [Chorus] He is the sound man (The sound man) He is the sound bands make (He is the sound man) And he gives sound advice (He is the sound man) He is the sound bands make (He is the sound man) And he's got me down flat [Verse 2] In the studio, can't take his headphones off Although they hurt his head, he smokes a cig instead On the radio, he points and says "that's me!" Although I did not seem struck dumb or anything [Pre-Chorus 2] You can hear me I am the ghost in the machine Can you hear me? No, I can't hear anything Turn the monitors up! [Chorus] He is the sound man (The sound man) He is the sound bands make (He is the sound man) And he gives sound advice (He is the sound man) He is the sound bands make (He is the sound man) And he sees me sharp [Bridge] He is the sound man He is the sound man He is the sound man He is the sound man I can see myself gaining weight Drinking pumpkin beer at the warehouse Losing my hair Learning the correct way to wrap wires Losing my hearing Losing count of the festivals Can we make the bands sound better than the sound they make? [Pre-Chorus 1] He is a simple man, he has a simple plan He wants to make things sound beautiful [Chorus] (sound man) He is the sound bands make (yeah, he is the sound man) And he gives sound advice (oooh, he is the sound man) He is the sound bands make (yeah, he is the sound man) I can't hear what you're saying to me! (oooh, he is the sound man) Nobody listen to the sound man! (yeah, he is the sound man) Make sure you don't listen to the sound man! (oooh, he is the sound man) You shouldn't be able to hear him, the sound man! (he is the sound man) No no no no! Part 2: Low Fidelity [Intro] I can still hear the fucking click track [Verse] I would be honored to be castrated at your hands Yes, I'd be happy to play tambourine in your band Oh, but don't ever let me produce You gotta keep me blind to my muse 'Cause I like it loud and loose, I got low fidelity
