All my life I left art to the pros
Played my guitar but I did not compose
First song I wrote, was almost forty-eight
An imposter, how can I create
I'm a fake
Make no mistake
Other folks are artists
I don't even try my hardest
I'm a fake
I'm a hoax
Compared to all the greats
My work is just a joke
Why do I feel like my art isn't real
Why not me, I live and breathe and feel
I'd like to think that when I'm dead and gone
Someone will listen, then I will live on but
I'm a fake
Make no mistake
Other folks are artists
I don't even try my hardest
I'm a fake
I'm a hoax
Compared to all the greats
My work is just a joke

I can pack a lot of pain in a pop song
But I'm too dumb to figure out how me and you can get along
I can tell it to strangers on the internet
But I still don't know just how to talk to you yet
Why can't I just live in a song
Wrap it all up neat and move on
I know just what to do three minutes at a time
But I can't make it work when there's no rhyme
"Let's Stay Together" sounds great on wax
But it don't sound so hot when you've got the facts
"I Will Always Love You" gets you with the key change
But I can't pull it off with you, I just don't have her range
Why can't I just live in a song
Wrap it all up neat and move on
I know just what to do three minutes at a time
But I can't make it work when there's no rhyme
Why can't I just live in a song
Wrap it all up neat and move on
I know just what to do three minutes at a time
But I can't make it work when there's no rhyme

Culture bleed
Is tearing us down
Who can live in this new town
Culture bleed
Why do we stay
Who remains to be betrayed
That little store
That we adored
Two million if you're ready to move
A bidding war
We've lost our core
But someone's bottom line is improved
Culture bleed
Leave us alone
Who would live in these new homes
Culture bleed
I can't go back home
It happened there too so long ago

Crush Me Out

I spent last night looking through photographs of you
Fading epitaphs from prehistoric times we lived through
No special reason just got nothing better to do
I lost your number or else I would be calling you too
Crown me now I'm your king of regret
Show me why we've never been there yet
Take the wheel of this confidant roulette
Crush me out like your last cigarette
That box of photographs has been with me for far too long
Time to sit down and put these thoughts in yet another song
Just like this kick drum wanting you will still go on and on (and on)
And when the beat stops that's how you'll know I'm finally gone
Crown me now I'm your king of regret
Show me why we've never been there yet
Take the wheel of this confidant roulette
Crush me out like your last cigarette
