The Scene Is Dead; Long Live the Scene Lyrics

This is what I've come up with:

I'm not playing this game no more I'm out of medicine, so call the medics You're all as dumb as you were before Don't ask me questions I won't explain it It should be fun, but it's getting old I'll take my medicine and be your favorite man

You think you understand but you don't You've got no idea at all And in between this sentence There's still a semblance intelligently screwed

Oh yeah, it's all right 'Cause I got a pretty face I guess that I can sing all right Oh yeah, it's all right I can love you like a sailor I can make you dance all night

Maybe you'll understand when I'm gone That you had no idea at all But in this very second I'll never mention the dreams I keep from you

Oh yeah, it's all right 'Cause I got a pretty face I guess that I can sing all right Oh yeah, it's all right I can love you like a sailor I can make you dance all night Oh yeah, it's all right 'Cause I got a pretty face I guess that I can sing all right I can be your favorite man

Don't mean to sound like a rotten boy For all my blessings, I'm sure grateful 'Cause I'm the dream you've been waiting for I've always dreamt that I would be your favorite

Oh yeah, it's all right 'Cause I got a pretty face I guess that I can sing all right Oh yeah, it's all right I can love you like a sailor I can make you dance all night Oh yeah, it's all right I got a pretty face I guess that I can sing all right I can be your favorite man

At some points though, it does sound to me like he's saying "I can't be your favorite man."

And I do agree, the "oh yeah, it's alright," part does remind me of Tom Petty. Haha.

I'm glad I'm not the only one hearing the chorus of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers song "American Girl" in this song

I actually posted an mp3 of those two parts back to back on absolutepunk.net

I definitely noticed it as well.
