Shinola

歌詞

I have been ringing your doorbell, But you left me standing in the hall And you make love by the numbers, That doesn't mean there's any love at all Now there you go with a big explanation Why do you waste your time? And there you go, under estimation Of the thoughts that cross my mind This is your promise that you put up for sale It's done like a picture from a fairy tale, But still there's a difference, let me show it to you, This is crapola, this is shinola I see you're still in the headlines You pegged the latest trend again this week I'm not impressed by the outfit, Or your revolutionary chic And here it comes, I see you forming the words, you're performing the exercise And here it comes, It's the feeling that I heard the same speech a hundred times This is the jabber of a chimpanzee The motion of your mouth looks much the same to me The differentiation might be hard to see, But this is crapola, this is shinola Everyone's talking, few of them know The rest are pretending, they put on a show And if there's a message I guess this is it Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit And here it comes, Now I'm forming the words, I'm performing the exercise And here it comes It's the feeling that I've made the same speech a million times These are your leaders, come on take a look They'll lie and cheat and steal then sell the rights to the book And these are your neighbors who have swung to the right, But you don't have to worry just as long as you're white And my generation is just waiting to die We'll swallow anything if it would just get us high I don't know who's a bigger fool, But one thing I know This is crapola, this is shinola
