Say Anything - The Bret Easton Ellis School of Witchcraft and Wizardry lyrics

Is this what you wanted?
Did you get what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Did you get what you-

You’re hard tonight
The teeming life of those excusing
Cocaine use on Thursday nights
Explodes from bars into swerving cars
And all the while you ask
Yourself just who you are
I knew you when you went to shows
And had more pins than a cushion
Now you work at some vaguely purposed startup
And spend your weekends spinning
Best New Music tracks
And not calling girls back so tell me, man

Is this what you wanted?
Did you get what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Did you get what you-
Stricken of meaning by sickening evenings
Is this what you wanted?
Did you get what you-

Your all boys’ school where you
Learned to fool around
Helps you overcompensate when
You’re feeling down
Years of acne cream and fever dreams
Cut the courage from you like a laser beam
I knew you when you had a poster
Of Katie Holmes in your room
Because you thought she was the
Kind of girl who might
Realistically like you if you
Play your cards right
Where’s that shoddy hope tonight?

Is this what you wanted?
Did you get what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Did you get what you-
Stricken of meaning by sickening evenings
Is this what you wanted?
Did you get what you-
