Wit's All Been Done Before Lyrics
VERSE 1:
I wish I could innovate,
And try to stretch your minds
But often times, when guys like me
Do that they leave themselves behind
To clean the mess, or to impress,
A little bit of everyone
But to innovate is a mistake
'Cause there's nothing new under the sun
PRE-CHORUS:
'Cause we're all getting tired of the media
Because it tries so hard to make you like something
'Cause we're all getting tired of the media
'Cause creating something new is just recycling
CHORUS:
Wit, wit's all been done before
Yeah we do something to death,
Then we dig it up just to do it some more
VERSE 2:
And all my lines are pointing signs,
But not all with dead ends
And I'm not sure if the clever words
All sit well with my friends
But I will not just sit and watch
Me, the victim, fall
I'll just have to do what my gut tells me to
And hope that you will buy it all
PRE-CHORUS:
'Cause we're all getting tired of the media
Because they try so hard to make you like something
'Cause we're all getting tired of the media
'Cause creating something new is just recycling
CHORUS (2x):
Wit, wit's all been done before
Yeah we do something to death,
Then we dig it up just to do it some more
BRIDGE:
Originality is a ghost down,
And it's oh so hard to get to
And when you do, then people start to hate you
Just scream what you believe out loud in a crowd,
People will hate you
'Cause repitition's just so safe,
And repitition is just like prison,
And I prefer to be out of place,
'Cause I'm not really into prison
CHORUS

What does "Wit's" mean anyways???
Wit is another word for clevernes or originality, so he is saying we just keep doing the same things over and over again so we don't have to risk doing anything that is new or different.

What does "Wit's" mean anyways???
Wit..it's a play on the saying "It's all been done before." Basically, the song is saying that all teh commericals nd media and stuff try to be witty but they aern't very original.
This song is about becoming yourself, and not conforming to the things you see in the popular media.
ingenious.
your right, ingenious

"There's nothing new under the sun" is a fairly constant refrain from Ecclesiastes, a book from the Old Testament.
