Sounds and rhythms arranged in time Bands acrry a concept, then leave it behind Day after day, a whirlwind of nothing Synthetic feelings dull me to death Kids gag for meaning, bands can't confess Shallow hears echo hollow minds What's gonna save you When music can't buy you All that you paid for Entertainment is petty when it's an everyday duty This mecca's a myth but still somehow moves me Cluttered ideals tug war with cheap thrills I spill my guts because i still got them My peers are all talk, but won't talk about them I guess it's easier to stay stupid What's gonna save you When music can't buy you All that you paid for All that you paid for is a little bit of lifestyle Not a way of life It doesn't matter how you think the music makes you You're still the same All that you paid for is a little bit of lifestyle Not a way of life How many times did you wait in line To be fooled again? What's gonna save you When music can't buy you All that you paid for
