Here's the backlash:
I'm bored stiff
And it don't feel right without this line
You can take it out and maybe next time
This will turn the gear that moves the lever to...
Make me write it down
If you say this song
Be careful how you phrase it
It can sound all wrong
Just be honest now
Tell the story pure
Don't get caught up in the way you wish the words would sound.
So it comes to this:
I'm bored stiff
And I can't talk to you without repeating myself
I keep stumbling through my own words
Like I'm strung out, like I'm going numb!
Make me write it down
If you say this song
Be careful how you phrase it
It can sound all wrong
Just be honest now
Tell the story pure
Don't get caught up in the way you wish the words would sound.
So it comes to this:
I'm the time bomb
I'm the anti-man with all the problems
I can't write it down
I can scream it out
when I'm strung out, when I'm going numb!
Make me write it down
If you say this song
Be careful how you phrase it
It can sound all wrong
Just be honest now
Tell the story pure
Don't get caught up in the way you wish the words would sound.
I'm the anti-man
I'm the anti-man
I'm the anti-man
