Lyrics

[00:00.00] Issa issa issa issa
[00:01.69] Typical story, where the bassist kills the singer
[00:04.40] The guitarist and the drummer
[00:05.90] Find they're in love with each other
[00:07.52] It's the story of the kid who clearly
[00:09.44] Won't know what to say
[00:10.47] When the love of his life starts to calmly walk away
[00:13.59] And it's the story of the dad
[00:14.93] Who decides to chase his dream
[00:16.51] He quits his job, he falls apart
[00:17.99] And he loses everything
[00:19.45] And it's the story of the kid
[00:21.38] Who just wants to make a record
[00:22.84] Loves and crafts but nobody
[00:24.44] Ever ever cares about it
[00:25.86] Hey hey, what's your name?
[00:27.73] Talking to the guys you hate
[00:29.12] We should sit in silence
[00:30.56] While we think of what to say, hey
[00:32.31] Hey, hey, I don't think this is working out
[00:35.04] Will you forgot I even asked you to come over to my house?
[00:37.99] Hey hey, I don't think I know much
[00:41.42] But I know I couldn't take a good punch
[00:44.34] So if you feel like I've been talking enough
[00:47.34] Just tell me to shut up
[00:48.98] And I will probably shut the **** up
[00:50.74] I'm afraid of everything
[00:52.29] Staying the same or worsening
[00:53.70] So what's the point of finding calm
[00:55.28] When calm to me is unsettling?
[00:56.87] Settle down, little kid
[00:58.28] Your bones are shaking in your skin
[00:59.82] Go and try to take a breath
[01:01.26] Nothing more, nothing less
[01:02.81] Issa issa issa, typical story of
[01:04.38] The king who had it all
[01:05.71] Except for citizens who didn't want his head upon a wall
[01:09.03] It's a typical story
[01:10.43] Of the wife who couldn't quit
[01:11.98] Being in love with such a giant piece of ****
[01:15.01] It's the story of the queen
[01:16.57] Who could never ever think
[01:18.04] Of any redeeming qualities
[01:19.93] A man could ever bring
[01:21.30] It's the story of the dog
[01:22.69] Who wanted to run away
[01:24.10] 'Till he learned that his life
[01:25.98] Is way safer inside a cage
[01:28.85] I don't really need much
[01:30.92] Just a place to be alone
[01:32.35] You don't really see much
[01:33.78] I think that I'm invisible
[01:35.27] My mirror shows another guy
[01:36.75] A guy who doesn't do ****
[01:38.34] He just sits and is miserable
[01:39.95] Everybody's gotta
[01:41.61] Live a life
[01:43.40] That they didn't ask for
[01:45.46] Why
[01:46.44] Would he put me here
[01:47.79] Just to die?
[01:49.51] Just to, just to die
[01:54.41] Hey hey, what's your name?
[01:55.38] Talking to the guys you hate
[01:56.83] We should sit in silence
[01:58.15] While we think of what to say, hey
[01:59.99] Hey, hey, I don't think this is working out
[02:02.63] Will you forgot I even asked you to come over to my house?
[02:05.77] Hey hey, I don't think I know much
[02:09.40] But I know I couldn't take a good punch
[02:12.10] So if you feel like I've been talking enough
[02:14.87] Just tell me to shut up
[02:16.57] And I will probably shut the **** up
[02:18.40] And hey
[02:30.62] Everybody's gotta
[02:32.69] Live a life
[02:34.28] That they didn't ask for
[02:36.41] Why
[02:37.36] Would he put me here
[02:38.63] Just to die?
[02:40.28] Just to, just to die
[02:45.07] Hey hey, what's your name?
[02:46.09] Talking to the guys you hate
[02:47.61] We should sit in silence
[02:48.87] While we think of what to say, hey
[02:50.79] Hey, hey, I don't think this is working out
[02:53.39] Will you forgot I even asked you to come over to my house?
[02:56.54] Hey hey, I don't think I know much
[02:59.95] But I know I couldn't take a good punch
[03:02.88] So if you feel like I've been talking enough
[03:05.83] Just tell me to shut up
[03:07.30] And I will probably shut the **** up
