Alex Gaskarth has said this song was inspired by reading through comments on Mark Hoppus' Instagram, so it’s likely that this song is less about a relationship between two people and more about the relationship between an artist and their fans. Fans can have unrealistic expectations and some are pro...
[Verse 1: Alex Gaskarth]
Throw another penny in the fountain
Leave my dead body on the side of a mountain
You bathe in the light of a trash fire
I see the stars in the eyes of a vampire
I'm too sweet to be salty about it
And too sour to be happy without it
I'm just here for your entertainment
I'll spit my teeth out on the pavement
[Pre-Chorus: Alex Gaskarth, Mark Hoppus]
Woah-oh-oh
Am I good enough for you?
Woah-oh-oh
Am I good enough for you?
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth, Mark Hoppus]
I don't owe you anything
But I'll give you everything
Watch you pile it up and sing
"Thanks, I hate it."
No, you're never satisfied
Now you wanna run and hide
Can't you look me in the eyes and say
"Thanks, I hate it."
[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
I know I meant nothing to ya
Crucify me, hallelujah
Make-believe that we will never change
Stay the same but kinda different
Read my mind but say you didn't
Hurry up so I don't have to wait
[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Alex Gaskarth]
Woah-oh-oh
Just shut up and take the stage
Woah-oh-oh
This outrage is all the rage
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth, Mark Hoppus]
I don't owe you anything
But I'll give you everything
Watch you pile it up and sing
"Thanks, I hate it."
No, you're never satisfied
Now you wanna run and hide
Can't you look me in the eyes and say
"Thanks, I hate it."
[Bridge: Alex Gaskarth]
Throw another penny in the fountain
Leave my dead body on the side of a mountain
You bathe in the light of a trash fire
I see the stars in the eyes of a vampire
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth, Mark Hoppus]
I don't owe you anything
But I'll give you everything
Watch you pile it up and sing
"Thanks, I hate it."
No, you're never satisfied
Now you wanna run and hide
Can't you look me in the eyes and say
"Hahahahahaha...thanks."

Alex Gaskarth said the following in a track-by-track of the EP for Rock Sound:
It’s one of my favourite songs we’ve done for this project – it’s kind of a ‘gleeful middle-finger to everything’ sentiment, because that’s exactly what this project was. I don’t want to say that it’s a direct response t...
