lyrics

I don’t know if I should say this
I don’t want to wake the dead
I don’t wanna hurt your feelings
But we can’t believe what you said
We’re too late, and you’re the greatest
Don’t believe what you just read, what you said
It ain’t right; it ain’t right
What if I said it’s not like chicken
What if I said there was no egg
How many stars it takes to see us
How many times you walk away
We don’t know you anymore
Still backstage but in the way, not today
It ain’t right; it ain’t right; it ain’t right
Sing for a dollar, sing for free
Sing for your dollar, sing for me
Why do you think they came before us
What makes you think we don’t know
Where we went and where you’re going
With ideas we know you stole
How can you call it “revolution”
It’s the same old, oh oh oh oh

Some of BK's best songs in one album. Personally wish it had some other songs I consider some of their best work but a staple intro album for people wanting to get into the Riot Grrrl sound. 20duets
