Jimmy Eat World - Electable (Give It Up) lyrics

I came up like everyone
They taught us all the same
I said what they told me to say
And then from that they grade
Give up repeating the facts
Fact could be arranged
Here I am, I'll take my chance
Now play the record straight

Now give it up! Oh oh oh
Give it up! Oh oh oh

Talking points from talking heads
With automated smiles
There's no higher ground to stand
Than bottom of the pile
Give up acting unaware
You can't ignore the crime
The enemy is you as well, the enemy is I

Not in my name, you don't speak for me
I am my voice, and I want to scream
You want my air, you want my life
I act as one, but I'm not alone
