You say you heard when your name was spoken,
but you can't even read my spelling
Some of us are ashamed that it's broken,
but we're not the ones that you see yelling

We're running on empty "?cause I keep burning the fumes
We're running on empty, stop sign's got us all confused

You say we're coming apart with the motion,
but narrow-mindedness will keep us sinking
That kind of thing decimates my devotion,
but there's nothing there to stop us thinking

We're running on empty "?cause I keep burning the fumes
We're running on empty, stop sign's got us all confused

You say you heard when your name was spoken,
but you can't even read my spelling
Some of us are ashamed that it's broken,
but we're not the ones that you see yelling

We're running on empty "?cause I keep burning the fumes
We're running on empty, stop sign's got us all confused
