The Arrogant Sons Of Bitches: I've Got Enemies In High Places

stop, because i know just what you're thinking
i've encoded all the lines of encryption i've been fed
stop, your f'ing superpowers aren't working
i won't suck you off to get something i want, i'll give up instead

so please stop thinking for me
start looking out for me
and just because i'm paranoid
does not mean that your not after me

you, awash in a sea of pretension
you've got names to drop and bands to cash in on in your underground
me, apparently music is none of my business
aesthetic disease and enemies in high places to keep me down

so please stop thinking for me
start looking out for me
and just because i'm paranoid
does not mean that your not after me
and i was never on the team
so don't try to play ball with me
don't think I give two shits what you think is best for me and my career
don't think I give two shits what you think is best for me and my career
because i don't

try to ignore me, but i'll be that scar that won't go away (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
try to ignore me (yeah, yeah, go, go, go)

turn down the horns, or you can't be emotional (scream yeah)
my demeanor's inexplicable
cause the moment you expose your boredom we become expendable
and i'll defy your scene because your band is interchangeable
the image you've commodified is not your own
understand i'm doing something different because i'm capable
i do it cause i like it, and i like it cause you don't

so shut your mouth about it
no one wants to hear about it
if music's an artistic statement
than you don't have to speak for it
and i was never on the team
so don't try to play ball with me and
don't think i give two shits what you think is best for me and my career
don't think i give two shits what you think is best for me and my career
don't think i give two shits what you think is best for me and my career
don't think i give two shits what you think is best for me and my career
because i don't
