Lyrics

Rejection

If I send a dream down the pipe, where does it go

Down to a pile at the bottom of a hole

I will give you my hand, I will give you control

You can try to buy back what you've already sold

I don't wanna feel like a reject today

I don't wanna live like that

Burn another page from the playbook baby

I don't wanna live like that

If I send a dream down the pipe, where does it go

Down to the fire and it turns into smoke

I will give you the keys to a happier home

There'll be no one around to tell you just what you owe

I don't wanna feel like a reject today

I don't wanna live like that

Burn another page from the playbook baby

I don't wanna live like that

I don't wanna feel like a reject today

I don't wanna live like that

Burn another page from the playbook baby

I don't wanna live like that
