Boast Lyrics
Yeah you want to
'Cause you say so
'Cause you need to
Yeah you need to need to
I don't want to
I don't have to
But you've got to
Yeah you got to got to
Could you stay in line
Do you follow what I say
Can you read my mind
Then off where you lay
Feel the water rise
Can you swim now on your own
Do you act surprised
When you hear lies you have told
Oh now
Now you're motoring
Oh now
Now you're fluttering
Oh now now
'Cause you say so
'Cause you need to
Yeah you need to need to
I don't want to
I don't have to
But you've got to
Yeah you got to got to
Do you follow what I say
Can you read my mind
Then off where you lay
Can you swim now on your own
Do you act surprised
When you hear lies you have told
Now you're motoring
Oh now
Now you're fluttering
Oh now now

im pretty sure this song is bout a breakaway from a former manager that was takin all there money...
Like the title, "Boast," it sounds like someone debating in their mind whether to tell eveyone about something wonderful. When they open their mouth, they, "Feel the water rise," and can't stop boasting, soon they're swimming in lies!!
Ed Roland used to talk about someone who took undeserved credit for Collective Soul. Is Matt Serletic the culprit? Never heard Ed mention Serletic by name -- but makes sense it would be the Producer, especially one who hooked on with Matchbox 20 and later became CEO Of Virgin Records. Anyone know?
