Hypnotised Lyrics
I steal the notes from other bands
I fill their shoes with wet cement
I make you think of certain things
And when you talk the things you'll say
I'm pretty sure of what you want
I bet you want the same as me
You want to think of something smart
Something someone would repeat
But I'm giving up on all that fuss
I'm going to tell you how it is
And when you get your turn to talk
I hope your microphone is up
And the critics go whoa . . . yeah, yeah
They go oh . . . yeah, shotgun
But for now just watch the screen
Let me control the things you think
You'd like to think you could resist
But you're being hypnotised by this
Think of the clock you thought of
I was wagging back and forth
Now you're hypnotised by us
Are you studying my voice?
When my hand stops you'll wake up
To your daily concerns
I'm counting backwards in your head
You're letting me do all the work
You're under my thumb . . . yeah, yeah
You're under my thumb . . . yeah
How about that, girls/boys?
I fill their shoes with wet cement
I make you think of certain things
And when you talk the things you'll say
I bet you want the same as me
You want to think of something smart
Something someone would repeat
I'm going to tell you how it is
And when you get your turn to talk
I hope your microphone is up
They go oh . . . yeah, shotgun
Let me control the things you think
You'd like to think you could resist
But you're being hypnotised by this
I was wagging back and forth
Now you're hypnotised by us
Are you studying my voice?
To your daily concerns
I'm counting backwards in your head
You're letting me do all the work
You're under my thumb . . . yeah
How about that, girls/boys?

GREAT SONG !!!! first to comment whats up with that? makes me proud to be from omaha....
"And the credits go on. . . yeah, yeah They go on. . . yeah, shotgun"
That's wrong. The correct lyrics are...
"the critics go whoa..yeah, yeah they go oh, yeah shotgun."
Oh yeah also It's,
"I fill their shoes with wet cement" not the shoes.
It's a great song. I love The Faint.
i heard:
But I'm giving up on all that FUSS
I hope your microphone is OFF
THAY'LL go WOAH. . . yeah, SHUT THE FUCK UP
mrrobhog, im from omaha too! i love this song soo much, i cant find the song anywhere tho, which makes me sad, but i looooove this song and its not the kind of shtuff i usually like but its great. I like his voice for some reason. The Faint is great.
"Now you're hypnotised by us Are you studying my pores"
I'm pretty sure its "are you studying my voice?"
i could be wrong, but even if i am, im still singing the song like that.
this song is on the saddle creek katrina benifit cd
I think this song kinda shows a duality because the lyrics kinda conflict.
the first three verses are saying, stop dont be a rock star its not worth it.
and then the second half is him using his power as a rock star to control.
thats not exactly what i am trying to say, but i cant think of better words.
