Mara And Me Lyrics - Say Anything - Say Anything

There are babies with guns beheading their friends 

In shopping malls around the world 

Yet somehow the Kings of Leon still find time to write songs about girls 

I don't suck much less at least those dudes 

Have no illusions of angst and hopelessness 

And if I claim revolutionary or I give to charity 

They'll all know it's a plea for someone like me 

Disgusted with lies and cut down by their own beatnik poetry 

I'm just one man with no face and no friends 

God, in this dank Brooklyn bar I can feel it again, it's eating me 

Wait a second, I can't sing the same damn song over and over again 

I can't define myself through irony and self-deprecation 

I can't deny myself being alive through my alienation 

Everything that you do keeps me running back to you 

Can't give up, live the dream even if I don't believe 

We can't afford to surrender, we can't afford 

Fake players and the twisted web they weave 

I contend that the coming holocaust will be of those who choose to believe 

Anything but a phallic sense of self 

Hang alone in the attic tied up tightly with your father's belt 

You bathe in blood like Mr. Crowley 

Your cost, their loss, their memory haunts me 

I stand opposed to chaos that you chose 

New heart, new bones, am I not alone? 

Fake players are the ones who play the game 

(You're the flame, you're the flame, come on) 

Fake players are the ones who play the game 

(Fake players, fake players) 

Fake players are the ones who play the game 

(You're the flame, you're the flame, come on) 

Fake players are the ones who play the game 

(Fake players)
