Modest Mouse - Wicked Campaign lyrics
[Modest Mouse - Wicked Campaign lyrics]
Well I just found the fence where
I am going to lean
Take my handkerchief out and
Rub my eyeglasses clean
So I just learned my face
But I forgot my name
I'm gonna wear this smile like
It's some stupid toupee
And say, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, that's too bad"
Oh, I just learned your face
But it is bound to change
You can say what you want but
Try to think it my way
And say, "Oh, oh, oh, this wicked campaign"
I said, "Oh, oh, oh, this was not my plan"
Well, you know I'm a bastard
And we only just met
I guess I probably shouldn't wear this
Big old sign 'round my neck
I've still got some opinions that
I'm willing to claim
I'm gonna carry them around like
They're some wicked campaign
I started the debate
But now I'm sure I can't win
I should probably just exit the
Same way I came in well counted calculator
You didn't calculate this
That there's a lot more nothing
Than you knew exists
Oh, oh, oh, this wicked campaign
I said, "Oh, oh, oh, this was not my plan"
Oh, oh, oh, this wicked campaign
Every day is a wicked campaign
Well, I just found the fence where
I am going to lean
Take my handkerchief out and
Rub my eyeglasses clean
And just wait and just wait
And just wait and just wait
And just wait and just wait
And just wait and wait, wait, wait
I'm not dead but I misplaced the will
I'm gonna wear this smile like
It's a hundred dollar bill
And just wait, wait, wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait
I'm not a doctor, but I'll sell you an itch
I could apologize
But then a bit more nothing exists
So the worlds got plenty of
Good and bad liars but our lies should come
With chariots and choirs
Singing, "Oh, oh, oh, things are not so bad"
And we sing, "Oh, oh, oh
It's our wicked campaign"
And they sing, "Oh, oh, oh
Things are not so bad"
We sing, "Oh, oh, oh, what a wicked campaign"
I am going to lean
Take my handkerchief out and
Rub my eyeglasses clean
So I just learned my face
But I forgot my name
I'm gonna wear this smile like
It's some stupid toupee
And say, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, that's too bad"
Oh, I just learned your face
But it is bound to change
You can say what you want but
Try to think it my way
And say, "Oh, oh, oh, this wicked campaign"
I said, "Oh, oh, oh, this was not my plan"
Well, you know I'm a bastard
And we only just met
I guess I probably shouldn't wear this
Big old sign 'round my neck
I've still got some opinions that
I'm willing to claim
I'm gonna carry them around like
They're some wicked campaign
I started the debate
But now I'm sure I can't win
I should probably just exit the
Same way I came in well counted calculator
You didn't calculate this
That there's a lot more nothing
Than you knew exists
Oh, oh, oh, this wicked campaign
I said, "Oh, oh, oh, this was not my plan"
Oh, oh, oh, this wicked campaign
Every day is a wicked campaign
Well, I just found the fence where
I am going to lean
Take my handkerchief out and
Rub my eyeglasses clean
And just wait and just wait
And just wait and just wait
And just wait and just wait
And just wait and wait, wait, wait
I'm not dead but I misplaced the will
I'm gonna wear this smile like
It's a hundred dollar bill
And just wait, wait, wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait

And they sing, "Oh, oh, oh

We sing, "Oh, oh, oh, what a wicked campaign"
