lyrics

Everybody wants to play a song for the girls
To make 'em fall in love so true
'Cause when you ain't got money for diamonds or pearls
You gotta make a guitar work for you
Playing kinda quiet for some tipsy stranger
"Babe, your body is a wonderland"
But by the look of your face it'll take more than John Mayer
To get a girl to hold your hand

So put down your collar, quit pretending you're a baller
Put the bottle down and read a book or two
Get your pen to the paper and I'll listen to your song
Just get a goddamn metronome before you do

I met a goth kid wearing girl's pants in the hall
He was talking how the new bands suck
Saying, "If you don't see how hate machine speaks to us all,
Boy, I'm telling you, you just don't know what's up"
He was smoking packs of cloves like they're going out of style
So I left for the safety of my lungs
He had so much anger in his MySpace profile
I'd be worried if he was strong enough to shoot a gun

So stop starving yourself thin, get some sunlight on your skin
Maybe you'll find life isn't so bad
I guarantee you'd feel better playing frisbee with your neighbors
Instead of hanging around Hot Topic looking sad
