Line And Sinker Lyrics
What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
Today I don't feel pretty,
and I'm tired of trying to fit right in,
don't think that your so great, cause being great must suck!
We don't always see the bright side,
we all need ego suicide,
you hung my ID today, but I have licked my wounds and carried on
Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say...
What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
My heart is in the right place,
so wipe that smirk right off your face,
don't make me feel like that, cause that's just plain not nice!
We don't always see the bright side,
and I lied when I said I was fine,
you slapped my face today but, I have licked my wounds and carried on
Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say...
What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
You stole my luck from me, and now my fortune cookie's empty!
What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fing
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
and I'm tired of trying to fit right in,
don't think that your so great, cause being great must suck!
we all need ego suicide,
you hung my ID today, but I have licked my wounds and carried on
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say...
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
so wipe that smirk right off your face,
don't make me feel like that, cause that's just plain not nice!
and I lied when I said I was fine,
you slapped my face today but, I have licked my wounds and carried on
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say...
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
You stole my luck from me, and now my fortune cookie's empty!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget!
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fing

i first heard this song in Grind when Eric Rivers guy took on Ryan Sheckler
These lyrics are awesome! It's another anthem for the underdogs of the teenage population of western civilization who get picked on and stepped on by the popular ones. The line 'being great must suck' comes from how being popular is a hard job and how it must really suck if everybody's worshipping you all the time and trying to be like you. Because even though the popular people are the center of attention, they are always on display and they can never falter because they're basically icons and idols to all the faceless, nameless drones who follow trends and fads and don't know what their identity is. There's also a part about 'Santa seemed to miss my chimney' which talks about how being alone makes you isolated from the whole world, and it seems that no one gives a rat's ass about you anymore, even Santa Claus. Getting a grip with broken fingers is kind of ironic, because you can't hold onto something with broken fingers. This is a great song along with great lyrics.
This song is my anthem.
When i ride the bus to school in the morning, this is the only thing that keeps me from not cutting my throat right then and there. I turn this up full blast and remember why I keep my chin up every day.
They walk around with their noses in the air and their spray tans and fucking french tips. And all i can hear in my head is "TODAY I DON'T FEEL PRETTY..."
being "great" must suck. : )
god bless billy talent.
i totally agree with that very good analagy mrs_chainsaw

"Don't think they're just so great Cause being great must suck"
I love that line so much!!! :D
holy shit this band is FUCKING AMAZING i love this fucking song! best fucking canadians ever!
<font color=#ff66ff>Actually, I just realised a mistake in these lyrics. It's:
"Don't think that you're so great 'Cause being great must suck."
That's what it says in the lyrics book with the CD, not what's been posted here.<font>
I absolutley love this song! I saw it live at Warped tour this year and it was just so amazing. It's my favourite Billy Talent song. They're such a great band. I love the part when he says "What you see is what you get".
Right on the money mrs chainsaw
Another metaphor (i think thats the rite word) used is when he says fishing for the answers w/ a line and sinker, you can't fish with just a line and sinker, so he's saying he'll never get the answers. peace
