lyrics

i'm tapping my shoe, towards the back of the queue
still watching from the sidelines, scared to make a move
how long will you be? are you listening to me?
I'm not taking any orders from a fool like you

the word escapes, the story breaks
you can't deny that all of it is true

some 60's soul, some 50's rock'n'roll
steal a riff from a dead man, claim it as your own

arrive to find the contract signed
we sent him crawling back into his pond

so tell me more, the same as before
the laughter is escaping from the can

if you're so individual, why are your tastes the same as all
the other individual people out there?
if you're so individual, why are your tastes the same as all
the other individual people out there?

so have mercy on me, and my family
we only roam around the fringes doing nothing wrong

the world awakes, the truth escapes
the breakfast show-off crackles through the dawn

enter a naught
