IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT I SAY
SO LONG AS I SING
WITH INFLECTIONS
THAT MAKES YOU FEEL
THAT I'LL CONVEY
SOME INNER TRUTH OF
VAST REFLECTIONS
BUT I'VE SAID
NOTHING SO FAR
AND I CAN KEEP IT UP
AS LONG AS IT TAKES
AND IT DON'T MATTER
WHO YOU ARE
IF I'M DOING MY JOB
IT'S YOUR RESOLVE
THAT BREAKS
BECAUSE THE HOOK
BRINGS YOU BACK
I AIN'T TELLIN' YOU NO LIE
THE HOOK
BRINGS YOU BACK
ON THIS YOU CAN RELY
THERE IS
SOMETHING AMISS
I AM BEING INSINCERE
IN FACT I DON'T MEAN
ANY OF THIS
STILL MY CONFESSION
DRAWS YOU NEAR
TO CONFUSE THE ISSUE
I'LL REFER
TO FAMILIAR HEROES
FROM LONG AGO
NO MATTER HOW MUCH
PETER LOVED HER
WHAT MADE THE PAN
REFUSE TO GROW
WAS THAT THE HOOK
BRINGS YOU BACK
I AIN'T TELLIN' YOU NO LIE
THE HOOK
BRINGS YOU BACK
ON THAT YOU CAN RELY
SUCK IT IN SUCK IT IN
SUCK IT IN
IF YOU'RE RIN TIN TIN
OR ANNE BOLEYN
MAKE A
DESPERATE MOVE
OR ELSE YOU'LL WIN
AND THEN
BEGIN TO SEE
WHAT YOU'RE
DOING TO ME
THIS MTV IS
NOT FOR FREE
IT'S SO PC
IT'S KILLING ME
DESPERATELY
I SING TO THEE OF LOVE
SURE BUT ALSO RAGE
AND HATE AND PAIN
AND FEAR OF SELF
AND I CAN'T KEEP THESE
FEELINGS ON THE SHELF
I'VE TRIED
WELL NO IN FACT I LIED
COULD BE
FINANCIAL SUICIDE
BUT I'VE GOT
TOO MUCH PRIDE INSIDE
TO HIDE
OR SLIDE
I'LL DO AS I'LL DECIDE
AND LET IT RIDE
UNTIL I'VE DIED
AND ONLY THEN
SHALL I ABIDE THIS TIDE
OF CATCHY LITTLE TUNES
OF HIP
THREE-MINUTE DITTIES
I WANNA BUST
ALL YOUR BALLOONS
I WANNA BURN
ALL OF YOUR CITIES
TO THE GROUND
I'VE FOUND
I WILL NOT MESS AROUND
UNLESS I PLAY THEN HEY
I WILL GO ON ALL DAY
HEAR WHAT I SAY
I HAVE A PRAYER TO PRAY
THAT'S REALLY
ALL THIS WAS
AND WHEN I'M FEELING
STUCK AND NEED A BUCK
I DON'T RELY ON LUCK
BECAUSE THE
HOOK BRINGS YOU BACK
I AIN'T TELLIN' YOU NO LIE
THE HOOK
ON THAT YOU CAN RELY
