lyrics

I had a song in my head in the morning,
but it was gone by the afternoon.
I figure the older I get, the more and more I forget
the melodies of a would-be tune.
I was a stranger to myself
I could not follow or break the rules.
Stuck somewhere between the man and the machine
that had me singing "Technicolor Blues."

Hands in the air!
(Kill the songwriter)
(Kill the songwriter)
Hands in the air!
(Kill the Songwriter)
(Kill the Songwriter)
Countless days digging shallow graves with a pen stuck in my hand
Eyes on the clock 'till my writer's block is dead.

The dudes in the band were waiting
with every shock of the microphone.
Sinking to new lows after every show,
I couldn't wait to drive my car back home.
Do you still believe in me?
Like I still believe in you?
We're spinning on a wheel where nothing good is real
and shooting for a paper moon.

Hands in the air!
(Kill the songwriter)
(Kill the songwriter)
Hands in the air!
(Kill the Songwriter)
(Kill the Songwriter)
Countless days digging shallow graves with a pen stuck in my hand
Eyes on the clock 'till my writer's block is dead.

Hands in the air, time to kill the songwriter (yeah).
Hands in the air, time to kill the songwriter (yeah!)
Countless days digging shallow graves with a pen stuck in my hand
Eyes on the clock 'till my writer's block is
Eyes on the clock 'till my writer's block is
Eyes on the clock 'till my writer's block is dead.
