The Hard Sell

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm paranoid and sick of this World's misconception of things I did My language poured across this wrist In a metaphoric disaster My guess, I'm missing half the punch line Unless this hanging noose is fitted to be all mine [Pre-Chorus] I stood by everything I loved While you never understood me much [Chorus] Cause there's only one of me And too many of you fighting over nothing Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone And before you know it, you're selling out to be in [Interlude] (There's never enough) (There's never enough) Oh, you're selling out to be in (There's never enough cool for all...) [Verse 2] These eyes ungoverned are tearing us apart Their ears forsaken have given up on art Now, why believe in anything they praise When one hand holds them the victor while the other holds the shovel to their grave? [Pre-Chorus] I stood by everything I loved While you never understood me much [Chorus] Cause there's only one of me And too many of you fighting over nothing Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone And before you know it, you're selling out to be in [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Oh, this ticket window has closed Save your money, baby, the next show's about to start Where else can you get to watch this talent fall One by one, they drop [Pre-Chorus] I stood by everything I loved While you never understood me much [Chorus] Cause there's only one of me And too many of you fighting over nothing Oh there's never enough cool for everyone And before you know it, you're selling out You're selling all of me For too many of you fighting over nothing Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone And before you know it, you're selling out to be in [Outro] (I stood by everything I loved) You're selling out to be in (I stood by everything I loved) You're selling out to be in (I stood by everything I loved) You're selling out to be in (I stood by everything I loved) [Segue: Spoken] "(1...) I have the great privilege (2...) and honor to present to you today the last great (3...) visionary in all our beloved (4...) company I present to you a man who brings (5...) new meaning to the ideas that we (6...) currently believe. Ladies and (7...) gentlemen, it is with my great respect (8...) I give to you, Mr. (9...) Sirius Amory."
