The Hard Sell

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 out the punch line

Unless this hanging noose

Is fitted to be all mine

I stood by everything I loved

While you never understood me much

'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

There's never enough cool

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 graves

I stood by everything I loved

While you never understood me much

'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

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

I stood by everything I loved

While you never understood me much

'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

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

You're selling out to be in

I stood by everything I loved
