Shivers down their spines,
With every chord you hit,
You can make a crowd forget
And they swear,
That when you sing your words
Its as sacred as birth

[Chorus]

The lies you wrote have become anthems,
How they mend their broken hearts
And the lines you stole from story books,
That choke in your voice
How it sells them every word of it

We have heard that with a little work,
Your cathartic verse,
Will rid all the pain from earth
Scream your words in their cars
And help them figure out who they really are,
And to blame their fathers

[Chorus]

The lies you wrote have become anthems,
How they mend their broken hearts
And the lines you stole from story books,
That choke in your voice
How it sells them every word of it

Can this pull up the anchor
So you can drift away
Say something you honestly honestly mean, but
You will never let it

'Cause you're a hit in shopping malls,
You're the shit that makes us all want to quit
'Cause you're a hit in shopping malls,
You're the shit that makes us all want to quit
