If Long And Unrelated Song Titles Bother You, You Probably Aren't Even Reading This Anymore lyrics


from the ABC set Poems and Lyrics

Our styles and ambitions/aren't very much alike/why can't you just get that/don't call me anti-art/try to open your mind/instead of just your mouth/oh, you arrogant fool/pull your head from your ass

I've got my own mind/I know that you've got one too/so please just use it/to see that I am not you

You tell me all the words you think I should sa-ay/and show me all the songs you think I should si-ing/but if I said those words/and if I sang those so-ongs/you say I'd be more original/I say I'd just be you version two-point-oh

You don't like my haircut/cuz that's what matters most/did you read my lyrics/or just look at the name/you don't even hear me/you just see my black clothes

(spoken, music out) Well let me tell you something: I wore white yesterday, so FUCK YOU!

(breakdown, screamed) Do you see/this middle finger in the air/it's for you/so let me shove it in your face
(instrumental breakdown continues until, sung)

I've got my own mind/I know that you've got one too/so please just use it/to see that I am not you

You tell me all the words you think I should sa-ay/and show me all the songs you think I should si-ing/but if I said those words/and if I sang those so-ongs/you say I'd be more original/I say I'd just be you version two-point-oh

So take all those words you think I should sa-ay/and take all the songs you think I should si-i-ing/and start up your own band/to sing your shitty so-ongs/go pretend to be original/but don't expect me be you version two-point-oh

(guitar chord fades to silence)

(screamed) Did you think I was done with you?

(instrumental breakdown, when done:) OH!

If this seems a bit forced, some parts were. But sometimes you have to force yourself to get back into writing.
