This is the fourth track off of Filter’s 1995 debut album, “Short Bus”
Note: The intro and bridge of this song is what sounds like a drunken man leaving a message on a machine after Richard hasn’t picked up the phone. The quality of the audio isn’t that great, so some of the lyrics in those section...
[Intro]
Oh, fuck...
Man, you were all assuming something
And I was gonna sing something
Until it got to your machine
I was gonna sing something
And I was gonna sing something
Until it got to your machine
I'll just wait for you, I'll call you back
(Friday, 4:22 AM)
[Verse]
All my life
All my time
Oh, it's got a price
Oh, gonna pay for mine
[Hook]
I know you really care
I know you really care
[Pre-Chorus]
All my friends, they got
Old apathy in the brain
They got no ideas in their heads
They got no path that I can see, oh
[Chorus]
Don't you think that I don't blame 'em?
Don't you think that I can't save them?
Don't you think that I don't want 'em?
Don't you think that I ain't one of 'em?
One of 'em
One of 'em
One of 'em
[Hook]
I know you really care
I know you really care
[Interlude]
Hello, leave a message
No, fuck that
Pick up the phone, man
It's not my contest
You fucked up on me, man
[Bridge]
You're just another X now
You're just another X now
You're just another X now
You're just another X now
You're just another X now
You're just another X now
You're just another X now
You're just another X now
