Something Else - Hard Working Americans

Hung up down on Something to Do Street

First dollar bill that they always frame

Watching media coverage of media coverage

Of some kid who can’t make peace with fame

I hope to serve my company under General Malaise

He said he ain’t making peace until it pays him a raise

He say killing is paying like I don’t know how

If peace paid money we’d have made it by now

Sometimes we leave the same people

We fell for

(We'd have it New and Improved)

Must’ve believed the people they’ve become

(If it paid money)

I thought maybe I’d found your weakness, but maybe I just got it myself

May not have been what you wanted

But it sure is something else

But it sure is something else

I took a better job pouring fluoride in the water

Fooled the son of the widow’s only daughter

I’d say, «How do you know?»

She’d say, «You know how you just know something in

your gut you’ve just got to trust»?

Sometimes we leave the same people

We fell for

(Well its nothing like that)

Must’ve believed the people they’ve become

(It's because we say so)

I thought maybe I’d found your weakness, but maybe I just got it myself

Might not have been what you wanted

But it sure is something else

But it sure is something else

Setting up London bank association LIBOR rate

Framed for calling out the United States

All time, prison time, one-time economy

Now it all seems so far off the wall to me

Sometimes we leave the same people

We fell for

(Watching every dollar)

Must’ve believed the people they’ve become

(Make change but me)

I thought maybe I’d found your weakness, maybe I just got it myself

Might not have been what you wanted

But it sure is something else

But it sure is something else

Sometimes we leave the same people

We fell for

(Only everything I live for)

Must’ve believed the people they’ve become

(If you’ll show me something else)

I thought maybe I’d found your weakness, maybe I just got it myself

Might not have been what you wanted

But it sure is something else

But it sure is something else

But it sure is something else

But it sure is something else… give me something else!

«Look at that rain, man!»

«It's the Apocalypse out there.»

«No, that’s called 'rain'.»
