LYRICS

Give them what they want
couldn't be a bad thing
you can take the lead
and I'll be in the bathroom

Can't see this in a movie
isn't the same and they sayin’, they sayin'
that they don't think this is a party
what should we, what should we, what should we do?
We should stop! And let out everything we have
We should stop! And let out everything we own

Tried holding our breath
but now it's ineffective
couldn't get a rush
unless you had a stand-in

Searching for a solution
always the fame and the fame and they sayin'
that they don't want any intrusions
take what you, take what you, take what you need
Not enough? Well I have nothing else to give
Not enough? Well I'll try, try to take the lead

Can't let you down
been searching for a way to take the sting out of the endless no's
Can't let you down
been trying all the ways that I can think to make it really right

(Instr.)

Give them what they want
don't leave it to another
Give them what they want
they have to see you suffer -
suffer for your art, suffer for their pleasure
suffer for your future

(spoken)
I wanted to tell you
but I just didn't think I could find the words
I've got all these things running in my head
I wanted to show you
but I just didn't think I could find the courage
I've been waiting at the top of this mountain ready to get started on what I really, really, really wanna do...
