The Believer Lyrics
Activity killed you
When are you gonna burn
Half of the things that you knew
In your body were wrong?
I wanted to be friends with you
Now I have come to find
It was mistaken in passion.
Nobody was wrong
And I believe you
They said down in London
Had to be hard to keep hating yourself
When these people are
So well behaved
You did time in Duncanville
Part of you’s living there still
In a hole where the souls
Of the lost kids are saved.
And I believe you
When you said happiness is all you wanted
You said this is all you wanted
How I miss
You almost made it
Happiness
All of your good friends
All of the people I’d meet
Keep a list of the things
In this world that we trust
You are here and after
Referred to as someone who
Gave it a shot, gave it up
Left a cruel world to us
And I believe you
When you said happiness is all you wanted
You said this is all you wanted
How I miss
You almost made it
Happiness
You won’t get nervous
You won’t come down
You won’t feel helpless
You won’t be around anymore
You won’t be around anymore
You won’t be around anymore
You won’t be around anymore
You won’t be around anymore
You won’t be around anymore
You won’t be around anymore
Anymore
Anymore
When are you gonna burn
Half of the things that you knew
In your body were wrong?
Now I have come to find
It was mistaken in passion.
Nobody was wrong
Had to be hard to keep hating yourself
When these people are
So well behaved
Part of you’s living there still
In a hole where the souls
Of the lost kids are saved.
You said this is all you wanted
How I miss
You almost made it
Happiness
All of the people I’d meet
Keep a list of the things
In this world that we trust
Referred to as someone who
Gave it a shot, gave it up
Left a cruel world to us
You said this is all you wanted
How I miss
You almost made it
Happiness
You won’t come down
You won’t feel helpless
You won’t be around anymore
You won’t be around anymore
You won’t be around anymore
You won’t be around anymore
You won’t be around anymore
You won’t be around anymore

I love this song. maybe only because it's about Elliott Smith. but it's just beautiful.
I completely and utterly agree. But is it just me or does the beginning go: "Act may've killed you..."
I bought the song off itunes so does anyone actually have liner notes and all?
I response to mr sniffles, the line is "activity killed you". It's a response to the opening line of "Happiness" by Elliott Smith.
Beautiful tribute.
