lyrics

I killed the author because the lyrics never mattered
And I didn't want to hear another made up reason
I haven't felt like writing melodies in
A thousand years or so

A couple hooks to tear into my skin
And a bridge to get me away from where I started
I haven't felt like writing melodies in
A thousand years or so

I'm just a couple million monkeys
Scraping dictionaries for meaning
Watching letters on a screen turn to gibberish
While I repeat myself endlessly

A random number generator picked these lines
Intelligence assembled them into faulty logic
The internal consistency's fallen out
And my backwards prose has gone to shit

The author died because the lyrics never mattered
And the justification wasn't as satisfying
The font of inspiration has dried up for another
Thousand years or so

A couple licks to get to the center
A drop off a cliff to find my way back to the end
The font of inspiration has dried up for another
Thousand years or so

You can't write a song without swearing in it
You can't set your thoughts to a burning page
You can't add enough variation in the first minute
You can't wait for a mistake to become all the rage

You're always five mintues away from writing a fucking hit
Take a break
You're always a couple hours behind the times
Take a hint
