Get Up Kids, The
Something To Write Home About (1999)

You really think that you’re bigger than this
To the tune of ten thousand lisps. (or maybe lips?)
Who would have thought we’d represent,
When I can’t take a compliment?

Overexposure is the key
And any focus on me
Is appreciated,
As it should be.

No wonder now,
I finally found
The right formula for…

You taught me how,
I play the fool.
Every mistake that I make,
I couldn’t have made without you.

What’s said is done
And plain to see,
You take it all too seriously.

What better way to make an honest mistake
Than a televised hand of fate.
When the world’s closing in on you,
A decision would be overdue.

Now nothing left is out of hand,
A stronger jaded man stands.
If the world is ending
Then we toast to it.

I’m stronger now
But not without
The right formula for…

You taught me how,
I play the fool.
Every mistake that I make,
I couldn’t have made without you.

What’s said is done
And plain to see,
Here’s all you get from me.
Here’s all you get from me.

I’m down for whatever.
What’s there left to wait for?
I’m down for whatever.
What’s there left to wait for?
Wait for?
I wait.

You taught me how,
I play the fool.
Every mistake that I make,
I couldn’t have made without you.

What’s said is done
And plain to see,
Here’s all you get from me.
