lyrics

That's it?
I waited half my life for this?
I turned on my tv, or should I say that the TV turned on me?
I guess it's less than I have come to expect
I am a faithful follower of a broadcast messiah in the Church of Orchestrated Bliss
Defined: defined by what I have not by what I give.
Confined: I'm living a life that the scriptwriter wants me to live
But the late night numbers are down
Still we're the darlings of the underground

And I try and I try
But I'm tired, i'm so tired
Well I try so hard but I'm tired so tired
Is this the road that we were dying to ride on?
I know we gotta write a hit, and if we don't then this is it
And if we don't
I know we gotta write a hit, and if we don't then this is it and if we don't.

Cross-eyed
I'm punch drunk with fear
I'm gonna touch all your frets
I'll slide my hand down your neck
But the chorus hasn't happened yet
I guess it's less than I had come to expect
My every word hits the page and then it washes away
This is the movie score you'll never hear

And I try and I try
But I'm tired, i'm so tired
Well I try so hard but I'm tired so tired
Is this the road that we were dying to ride on?
I know we gotta write a hit, and if we don't then this is it
And if we don't
I know we gotta write a hit, and if we don't then this is it and if we don't.
