Gym Class Heroes - Kid Nothing vs. The Echo Factor lyrics
[Gym Class Heroes - Kid Nothing vs. The Echo Factor lyrics]
Now I could, sit here and baffle you with
Shallow babble and a
Bunch of punch lines you probably won't get
Or even, use some big words that
You'd have to look up but
I'm not a teacher so go 'head
And close your book up
I could, tell a fairy tale, so convincin
And keep a straight face from
Beginnin to happy endin
I could waste thirty-two bars tellin
You how to live knowing damn well I used MTV
Cribs for the blueprint
I could, bore you to death with
My past relationships
Or, a little ditty 'bout "Jack & Diane"
Or I could, go back to childhood
Dig up them skeletons and
Spit 'em at you with a catchy hook look
I could
Strike a nerve with some four letter words
That'll make Richard Pryor proud
Or better yet i could
Sing a jingle that'll contort and mingle
Every single solitary letter in the alphabet
I could tell you whatever you want to hear
But, if I just said hello
Would you listen to me?
I could sell a blind man new ears
If I just said hello would you listen to me?
I'm tryin hard to make it perfectly clear
But, I'm dyin because there ain't
Nobody listenin to me
Been relyin on myself on myself
For more than twenty-two years
And I ain't cryin I just need
Someone to listen to me
Breaker breaker can I get some reply
Or maybe some kind of sign
To let me know that you're listenin to me?
Just from time to time, I get lost in my mind
It's hard to find someone to listen to me
My ears were open when
You needed some consolin
Now I'm hopin to hear sounds besides echoes
Every time I say hello
I could talk about my duds
And my thrift store scores
But that probably wouldn't interest you and
Why should it?! I mean
I've seen a lot of shit in twenty-two years
But, your feet in my shoes
Is not somethin I recall
And I've been known to drink twenty-two beers
Before a show cause otherwise I
Probably wouldn't have the balls i could
Make references to books I never read
For the sake of sounding conscious but
That's just obnoxious
I could take off these bandages and
Expose these papercuts
And put 'em in the air with both
My middle fingers up
Or talk about myself in third person
Like I'm better than you
Cause there's nothin else better to do
I could, attack your character from
Eighty different angles
Cleverly explainin exactly how wack you are
But why do that when it's a well known fact
You buyin this CD is potentially feedin me
C'mon hello is there anybody out there?
Shallow babble and a
Bunch of punch lines you probably won't get
Or even, use some big words that
You'd have to look up but
I'm not a teacher so go 'head
And close your book up
I could, tell a fairy tale, so convincin
And keep a straight face from
Beginnin to happy endin
I could waste thirty-two bars tellin
You how to live knowing damn well I used MTV
Cribs for the blueprint

Or, a little ditty 'bout "Jack & Diane"
Or I could, go back to childhood
