[00:17.65] Well I just found the fence where I am going to lean
[00:21.12] Take my handkerchief out and rub my eyeglasses clean
[00:24.88] So I just learned my face, but I forgot my name
[00:28.41] I'm gonna wear this smile like it's some stupid toupee
[00:32.16] And say "Oh, that's too bad"
[00:39.43] Oh, I just learned your face, but it is bound to change
[00:43.07] You can say what you want but try to think it my way
[00:46.84] And say "Oh, this wicked campaign"
[00:53.67] I said, "Oh, this was not my plan"
[01:08.68] You know I'm a bastard and we only just met
[01:12.21] I guess I probably shouldn't wear this big old sign around my neck
[01:15.66] I've still got some opinions that I'm willing to claim
[01:19.00] I'm gonna carry them around like they're some wicked campaign
[01:23.17] I started the debate, but now I'm sure I can't win
[01:26.32] I should, I probably should just exit the same way I came in
[01:30.04] Well counted, calculator, you didn't calculate this
[01:33.86] That there's a lot more nothing than you knew exists
[01:38.11] "Oh, this wicked campaign"
[01:45.02] I said, "Oh, this was not my plan"
[01:52.20] "Oh, this wicked campaign"
[01:57.92] Every day is a wicked campaign
[02:06.81] Well I just found the fence where I am going to lean
[02:10.40] Take my handkerchief out and rub my eyeglasses clean
[02:14.81] And just wait, and just wait, and wait, wait, wait
[02:29.57] I'm not dead but I misplaced the will
[02:32.05] I'm gonna wear this smile like it's a $100 bill and just wait
[02:43.44] I'm not a doctor, but I'll sell you an itch
[02:46.23] I could apologize, but then a bit more nothing exists
[02:49.91] The world's got plenty of good and bad liars
[02:53.58] But our lies should come with chariots and choirs
[02:57.63] Singing, "Oh, things are not so bad"
[03:04.68] And we sing, "Oh, it's our wicked campaign"
[03:11.16] And they sing, "Oh, things are not so bad"
[03:18.73] We sing, "Oh, what a wicked campaign"
