Playing Your Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, you, you're way ahead of me
You're drunk on apathy, you burned right out
Hey, you, you're just a cripple now
We sell for millions now, they sold you out

[Chorus]
And, oh, I had to tell them you were gone
I had to tell them they were wrong
And now they're playing your song

[Verse 2]
Hey, you, don't take it out on me
You're bored of everything, you burned right out
Hey, you, so bored and cynical
It's fucking wonderful, they sold you out

[Chorus]
And, oh, they've bought and sold it all, it's gone
They've taken it and built a mall
And now they're playing your song

[Bridge]
Ooh, their innocence tastes like candy, yeah
Get so fat on it, it's a tragedy, yeah
I can help you come to me, yeah
Just bring your innocence to me, yeah

[Verse 3]
Hey, you, don't you dare blame me
You trusted everything, they sold you out
Hey, you, now when they call it cool
It's just so mean and cruel, they sold you out

[Chorus]
And, oh, they bought and sold it all, it's gone
And every note of it is wrong
And now they're playing your song
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And, oh, they've bought and sold it all, it's gone
They've taken it and built a mall
And now they're playing your song

[Outro]
They're playing, playing your song
They're playing, playing your song
They're playing, playing your song
