It seems as though that
“whoa”’s the only word you know and
all those hand claps
cant cover up what your songs lack
so lets be real
You’ll fake your life just for a record deal
lets cut the shit
You don’t care what you sing
as long its a hit
Why do so many people not give a care?
Is it that hard to write from the heart not the hair?
If the scene keeps on falling to more neon pop
Then I hope my heartbeat, b-b-beat just stops
I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick of this
I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick of this shit
I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick of these actors pretending what they play is music
It’s offensive and tragic
the way you make mention
of Mark, Tom, and Travis
there’s more to their message
than whats on the surface
You can write melodies
with actual purpose
Why do so many people not give a care?
Is it that hard to write from the heart not the hair?
If the scene keeps on falling to more neon pop
Then I hope my heartbeat, b-b-beat just stops
I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick of this
I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick of this shit
I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick of these actors pretending what they play is music
I’m sick but there’s something that I must admit
You’ve turned a cynic like me into a believer
Cuz I’m sick but I found an antidote for it
by letting go of my silence with
these actors pretending what they play is music
I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick of this
I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick of this shit
I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick of these actors pretending what they play is music
