Butch Walker - Paid To Be Excited lyrics

and the sky is falling upwards on a summer desert night while kids in school are forced to sing the battle hymns just right and the extras paid to get excited on the tv screen so doped up on diversion that they donâ to be free to hate the ones you hate free to love the ones you love free to like the land you live on not the one who leads all iâ after all, you make the call hang up before itâ make sure to give your full attention smile the best you can watch this hand give peace sign while the other chokes a man cuz he wants to love another man theyâ cuz some book that set the moral codes is glamourized in ads and the backflipping, spike-haired preachers preaching through their headset mics saying god is the new elvis and heâ so just sip on that new energy drink although it tastes like sh** cuz a pretty t.v. couple says they cant live without it
