Electable

Jimmy Eat World - Electable (Give It Up)

I came up like everyone,

they taught us all the same

I said what they told me to say,

and then from that they grade.

Give up repeating the facts,

but that could be arranged

Here I am, I’ll take my chance

Now play the record straight.

Give it up!

Oh oh oh...

Talking points from talking heads

with automative smiles

There’s no higher ground to stand

than bottom of the pile.

Give up acting unaware,

you can’t ignore the crime

The enemy is you as well,

the enemy is I

Not in my name,

you don’t speak for me

I am my voice, and I want to scream

You want my air, you want my life

I act as one, but I’m not alone.
