A Study in Economics

[Verse 1]
Chalk it up to the public's request for a style that they just don't understand
Chalk it up to the difference between the industry supply and demand
You say it bleeds when you’re stabbed with a knife to the heart of what you've always believed
Well, pull that bloody knife back out and wave it at the pessimism in me

[Pre-Chorus]
Say goodbye to all the preconceptions that you had
Say goodbye to everything you’ve known
And take the time to toe the line between what you have and what you think you'll find
‘Cause I know

[Chorus]
Let's hear it for lack of origination
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation that this will not survive

[Verse 2]
So what's the catch, what's the trick to the trade?
Is it luck or is it all just a game?
What's the rule for the polished charade?
Is it all about what's in a name?
You say it bleeds when you’re stabbed with a knife to the heart of what you've always believed
Well, pull that fucking knife back out and wave it at the pessimism in me

[Pre-Chorus]
Say goodbye to all the preconceptions that you had
Say goodbye to everything you've known
Take the time to toe the line between what you have and what you think you'll find
‘Cause I know

[Chorus]
Let's hear it for lack of origination
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation that this will not survive
Three cheers for the loser generation
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation that this will not survive tonight

[Chorus]
Let's hear it for lack of origination
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation that this will not survive
Three cheers for the loser generation
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation that this will not survive
No, this will not survive
So kiss it all goodnight, kiss it goodnight
Kiss it goodnight, kiss it goodnight
