about

written by Eric Chial

lyrics

you've gotta give to get
you've gotta live to forget
you've gotta look for the answers in a bottle of glue
gotta do all the dumb things you gotta do

it's entirely true
it's a perfect excuse
it's entirely true
and you know it

you took it down a notch
'cos it was all too much
disengaged the clutch
until your mind went blank
now you're looking around for someone to thank

you don't believe it's true
but you're soaking in it
'cos it's all you could do
just between me and you
i told everyone else in town
you've had a hard time
coming down
buddy

money makes you famous
dead makes you famous
famous makes you famous
everything makes you famous

keeping your conscience clear
like any good sloganeer
gotta look for the answer in a bottle of booze
gotta do a dance called the old bamboo

lied to my face on cue
you're a well tuned riot
doing the old bamboo

money makes you
dead makes you
shame makes you
everything makes you
