I've Got Enemies in High Places

[Verse 1]

Stop, because I know just what you're thinking

I've decoded all the lines of encryption I've been fed

Stop, your effing superpowers aren't working

I won't suck you off to get something I want, I'll give up instead

[Pre-Chorus]

So please stop thinking for me, stop looking out for me

(Oh! Stop, stop, stop, stop)

And just because I'm paranoid does not mean you're not after me

(Oh! Stop, stop, stop, stop)

[Verse 2]

And you: awash in a sea of pretension

You've got names to drop and bands to cash in on in your underground

Me: apparently, music's none of my business

Aesthetic disease and enemies in high places to keep me down

[Pre-Chorus]

So please stop thinking for me, stop looking out for me

(Oh! Stop, stop, stop, stop)

And just because I'm paranoid does not mean you're not after me

(Oh! Stop, stop, stop, stop)

And I was never on the team so don't try to play ball with me and

[Chorus]

Don't think I give two shits what you think is best for me and my career

Don't think I give two shits what you think is best for me and my career because I don't

[Bridge]

Try to ignore me, but I'll be the scar that won't go away

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Try to ignore me, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Solo]

[Verse 3]

"Turn down the horns or you can't be emotional"

"Scream, 'YEAH!'" "...Meh"

Well my demeanor's inexplicable

Because the moment you expose your boredom we become expendable

And I'll defy your scene where every band is interchangeable

The image you've commodified is not your own

Understand I'm doing something different because I'm capable

I do it 'cause I like it and I like it because you don't

[Pre-Chorus]

Shut your mouth about it, no one wants to hear about it

(Oh! Shut your, shut your)

Music's an artistic statement, you don't have to speak for it

(Oh! Shut your, shut your)

And I was never on the team so don't try to play ball with me

[Chorus]

Don't think I give two shits what you think is best for me and my career

Don't think I give two shits what you think is best for me and my career

Don't think I give two shits what you think is best for me and my career

Don't think I give two shits what you think is best for me and my career because I don't

(You did it!)
