Lyrics
Nobody wants to talk about those big ideas
It?s not election day today
You got the grammar wrong that no one wants to hear
You?ll have to eat those words you say
Put down the whine and get lost in a real song
It?s not the word but who?s to say
It?s on the radio, you know it can?t be wrong
My turn to turn and walk away
And all I wanna know
Is who?s in charge of this
And who put fake flowers in my way?
What?s in it for me, yeah
What do I get out of this?
What?s in it for me, yeah?
Five billion little words that no one?s bigger than
Who?s gonna make the best of one?
You wouldn?t know love if you held it in your hands
You?d fix it ?till it came undone
And all I wanna know
Is what I?m working for
And can I go outside today?
Bed of roses, bed of nails
And my friend said ?I?m a wilting flower
And I?m a loaded gun
I?m hanging out to dry
And I?m ready to go off ??
What?s in it for me, yeah
What do I get out of this?
