What Everybody Said Lyrics

I'm a sinner

That's what everybody said

I'm no winner

I'll just sicker in my head

They all shimmer

While I'm dimmer than the reflection off this lead

I'm a beginner

So I'll just turn back around instead

It's what everybody said

Lie and lies

In troubled times

A product of the system

Capital supplies

Cut and pasted on wounded pride

Everything you want

Everything denied

This has been made by committee

In the chaos in my mind

I hope it comes out pretty

And forgotten in due time

I can lose in record time

Selling all the secrets

Of a gig's disguise

I shine

For tonight

Tonight

I Won't lie, I

Its delight

Its delight

Parables provided for the members of the court

Lets see if it matters when they come at us with their calloused retorts

Preamble always disappoints we amble loosely to the port

We came for greatness and divinity but seemed to come up short

But I gotta hand it to you, you had all of us convinced

Came in like an animal but you're a pretender on the fence

Asked to choose between the pulpit or to be a master of the stage

Chose to stand up in the bleachers and put on your charade

We did it all for notoriety

We sold our souls with delight

We gave up all the rioting

And put the cause alight

Pamphlets for the end of days

The check is in the mail

For a place up on the center stage

Let all these chains prevail
