The Hard Sell Songtext / Lyric

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



Oh, you're selling out to be in



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 grave






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

For 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

(I stood by everything I loved)

You're selling out to be in

(I stood by everything I loved)

You're selling out to be in

(I stood by everything I loved)

You're selling out to be in

(I stood by everything I loved)
