One of four great vocal-only songs from my 2017 album "Linkin Theory" which is the sister album to "Hybrid Park"
lyrics
Intro:
Here we go again
Here we go again
Verse 1:
It’s not the good from the place that I hate
It is the bad from the hell that you created for me
When the facts show that I made the mistake
Then I’ll take, then I’ll take,
then I’ll take all the blame
You can put it all on me, and I won’t hesitate
Chorus:
I spend all, all of my time doing your job
Which is okay, but not every day
I’ve been played, everything
I tried to change, but you like me this way
Verse 2:
It’s not the night-frights
that I get where it seems like
like you’re on my back, like all the time,
yeah like every night
It’s not the ideal life
if it’s every time I open up my eyes
With flashbacks running through my mind,
it’s like my imagination’s working overtime
You’ve crippled me it’s true but I’m disguised
Yeah that’s right, keep smiling, and roll your eyes
It’s okay because I hold my anger inside
I hold all my anger inside
Chorus:
I spend all, all of my time doing your job
Which is okay, but not every day
I’ve been played, everything
I tried to change, but you like me this way
Chorus:
I spend all, all of my time doing your job
Which is okay, but not every day
I’ve been played, everything
I tried to change, but you like me this way
Bridge:
Well you know that you’ve got me crippled and bent
Yeah, we both know that you enjoy watching me try to bend
On a whim, and at your will,
just so that you can try and circumvent
the fact that I too, I really am just like you;
someone trying to live
Chorus:
I spend all, all of my time doing your job
Which is okay, but not every day
I’ve been played, everything
I tried to change, but you like me this way
Chorus:
I spend all, all of my time doing your job
Which is okay, but not every day
I’ve been played, everything
I tried to change, but you like me this way
Chorus:
I spend all, all of my time doing your job
Which is okay, but not every day
I’ve been played, everything
I tried to change, but you like me this way
Chorus:
I spend all, all of my time doing your job
Which is okay, but not every day
I’ve been played, everything
I tried to change, but you like me this way
Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes,
"we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha...more
