Ask me how I'm doing care to know the answer? soon I'll
be the one you know is winning stand and face the ones
you spin the tales of knowing "heard the sounds you
were creating living showing while the others weren't
listening..." now they wait to get their fill of all
the reasons why you made it riding backs of those who
gave you all their time unanswered messages "we'll get
together when you play the show and fill the stands and
meet the customer demand for all things pretty we can
move to any band that sets the mood..."
And I can
And I will
Hold me down
Keep me still
Take your reasons
Lies you sell
'Cause I know you
All too well...
The party people gather quickly drinks in hand to hear
the thing their friends will talk about and wish away
the meaning and the inspiration to the background music

life rockstar persona People magazine will show us all
the greatest angles of a face so recognizable perfect
grace accept the nomination "entertainer of the year"

your tears...
And I can
And I will
Hold me down
Keep me still
Take your reasons
Lies you sell
'Cause I know you
All too well...
A lasting year of dedication to the cause of all the
patience if I save the time I'm willing to give up the
things I build and keep away from those who shop the
very things I cannot stop the way you live a life self-
focused scan the pages get the most you can and ask me
how I'm doing care to know the answer? soon I'll be the
one you know is winning stand and face the ones you
lose...

Hold me down
Keep me still
Take your reasons
Lies you sell
'Cause I know you
