Gym Class Heroes - Nothing Boy Vs. The Echo Factor Lyrics
Now I could sit here and baffle youWith shallow babbleAnd a bunch of punch linesYou probably wont getOr even use some big wordsThat youd have to look upBut, Im not a teacherSo go ahead and close your book upI could tell a fairy tale so convincingAnd keep a straight face from beginningTo happy endingI could waste 32 bars telling you how to liveKnowing damn well I used mtv cribs for the blueprintI could bore you to death with my past relationshipsOr a little ditty bout Jack and DianneOr I could go back to childhoodDig up them skeletonsAnd spit them at you with a catchy hookLook, I could strike a nerve with some four letter wordsThatll make Richard Pryor proudOr better yet, I could sing a jingle thatll contort and mingleEvery single solitary letter in the alphabet(I could tell you whatever you want to hearBut if I just said hello would you listen to me?I could sell a blind man new earsIf I just said hello would you listen to me?Im trying hard trying to make it perfectly clearBut Im dying because their aint nobody listening to meBeen relying on myself on myself for more than 22 yearsAnd I aint crying I just need someone to listen to meCan I get some reply get maybe some kind of signto let me know that youre listening to me?Just from time to time I get lost in my mindIts hard to find someone to listen to meMy ears were open when you needed some consolingIm hoping till the sound you hear echoesEvery time I say hello)I could talk about my dudsAnd my thrift store scoresBut that probably wouldnt interest youBut why should itI mean, Ive seen a lot of shit in 22 yearsBut your feet in my shoes isnt something I recallAnd Ive been known to drink 22 beersBefore a show cuzotherwise I probably wouldnt have the ballsI could make references to books I never readFor the sake of sounding consciousBut, thats just obnoxiousI could take off these bandages andExpose these papercutsAnd put them in the airwith both my middle fingers upor talk about myself in third personlike Im better than youcuz theres nothing else better to doI could attack your character fromEighty different anglesCleverly explaining exactly how wack you areBut why do that when its a well known factyou buying this cd is potentially feeding me(come on)(I could tell you whatever you want to hearBut if I just said hello would you listen to me?I could sell a blind man new earsIf I just said hello would you listen to me?Im trying hard trying to make it perfectly clearBut Im dying because their aint nobody listening to meBeen relying on myself on myself for more than 22 yearsAnd I aint crying I just need someone to listen to meCan I get some reply get maybe some kind of signto let me know that youre listening to me?Just from time to time I get lost in my mindIts hard to find someone to listen to meMy ears were open when you needed some consolingIm hoping till the sound you hear echoesEvery time I say hello)Hello, is there anybody out there?Hello, is there anybody out there?Hello, is there anybody out there?Hello, is there anybody out there?Hello, is there anybody out there?
