The title is a quote from the Chuck Palahniuk novel, Survivor.
Ryan Ross criticizes artists who make music that seems to be racy or controversial only to gain fame. Cluing in from the song’s title, these artists are “martyrs” for their art, suffering criticism from perhaps more conservative voices....
[Verse 1]
Sit tight, I'm going to need you to keep time
Come on, just snap, snap, snap your fingers for me
Good, good, now we're making some progress
Come on, just tap, tap, tap your toes to the beat
[Pre-Chorus]
And I believe
This may call for a proper introduction, and, well
Don't you see?
I'm the narrator, and this is just the prologue
[Chorus]
Swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, but desperate for attention
I aim to be
Your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives
Swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, but desperate for attention
I aim to be
Your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives
[Verse 2]
Applause! Applause! No, wait, wait...
Dear studio audience, I've an announcement to make
It seems the artists these days are not who you think
So we'll pick back up on that on another page
[Pre-Chorus]
And I believe
This may call for a proper introduction, and, well
Don't you see?
I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue
[Chorus]
Swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, but desperate for attention
I aim to be
Your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives
Swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, but desperate for attention
I aim to be
Your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives
[Breakdown]
Swear to shake it up, you swear to listen
Swear to shake it up, you swear to listen
Swear to shake it up, you swear to listen
Swear to shake it up, swear to shake it up
[Chorus]
Swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, but desperate for attention
I aim to be
Your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives
Swear to shake it up if you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, but desperate for attention
I aim to be your eyes
[Outro]
La-la-la, da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
La-la-la, da-da-da-da-da (Uh-uh-uh-uh)
La-la-la, da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
La-la-la, da-da-da-da-da
