That Hype

They never asked me, if I wanted any
It was handed to me, so I had to drink
They never waited to, hear a yes or no
If I wanted in, or if I could commit
And so I drank it down, I bought every word
With every drop a story, so many it hurt
Delivered like a prize, as if I needed all that
As if I needed all that hype, I better tell ya

That ain't gonna work, gonna work for me now
That ain't gonna work, gonna work for me now

I don't know when, it all just stopped
I couldn't tell you how we got here, no
I don't know when it all just stopped
I couldn't tell you how we
Don't know when it all just stopped
I couldn't tell you, couldn't tell you how
I don't know when it all just stopped
I couldn't tell you how

The opposition knows, it's getting obvious
Guilty conscience on hand, some inexperience
Exemptions left and right, and with such attitude
A martyr for today, breaking backs for you
But it's harder to tell when you're on the losing side
When the game is over, when it's concession time
With a coup the doves are calling for your head, but
I thought you needed all that hype, I thought I said it

That ain't gonna work for me now
That ain't gonna work for me now

I don't know when, it all just stopped
I couldn't tell you how we got here, no
I don't know when it all just stopped
I couldn't tell you how we got here, no
Don't know when it all just stopped
I couldn't tell you, couldn't tell you how
I don't know when it all just stopped
I couldn't tell you how
