Tune U Out 03:55
Rebel. That’s how you see yourself. Think you’re oh so woke. Sucker. You turned me inside out. Making me go broke. Liar. You even fooled yourself. Hey, you’re a self-made man. When you fall in line with the big, big world, you’d better get yourself another plan. Plan! Don’t say I gotta think like you. Don’t tell me what to do, ‘cause you know I’m gonna tune u out. You know I’ve had it up to here. Don’t care if you’re sincere. You better bet I’m gonna tune u out. Hey there. Let me introduce you to a spoonful of plain old facts. Stranger to everything you know. The prophets are all hacks. Tune out. It’s what you’ve got to do. Don’t get played like a fool. Reporting the news, now just being used like another useless tool. Tool! Don’t say I gotta think like you. Don’t tell me what to do, ‘cause you know I’m gonna tune u out. You know I’ve had it up to here. Don’t care if you’re sincere. You better bet I’m gonna tune u out. I’m tired of the things you say. Don’t try to make me stay. I don’t care how much you scream and shout. All the good-time memories are gone. You know before too long, everybody’s gonna tune u out. Don’t say I gotta think like you. Don’t tell me what to do, ‘cause you know I’m gonna tune u out. You know I’ve had it up to here. Don’t care if you’re sincere. You better bet I’m gonna tune u out. I’m tired of the things you say. Don’t try to make me stay. I don’t care how much you scream and shout. All the good-time memories are gone. You know before too long, everybody’s gonna tune u out. Don’t say I gotta think like you. Don’t tell me what to do, ‘cause you know I’m gonna tune u out. You know I’ve had it up to here. Don’t care if you’re sincere. You better bet I’m gonna tune u out. I’m tired of the things you say. Don’t try to make me stay. I don’t care how much you scream and shout. All the good-time memories are gone. You know before too long, everybody’s gonna tune u out.

Things come at five minutes to five It’s all that I can do to just stay alive Toiling away just makes you look like a fool There are no lifeguards in this gene pool Plans change at five minutes to five Better escape before the world takes a dive If you wait until the schedule is done There won’t be any time to take out for fun I don't know how I will survive Way down the road I'm gonna drive Can't take another minute more I'm feeling rotten to the core Explosions happen at five minutes to five The bombs go off and really mess up the hive If I’ve told you once I’ve told you before The time is running out to walk out the door Big things come at five minutes to five It’s all that I can do to just stay alive Toiling away just makes you look like a fool There are no lifeguards in this gene pool I don't know how I will survive Way down the road I'm gonna drive Can't take another minute more I'm feeling rotten to the core I don't know how I will survive Way down the road I'm gonna drive Can't take another minute more I'm feeling rotten to the core Plans change at five minutes to five Better escape before the world takes a dive If you wait until the schedule is done There won’t be any time to take out for fun Explosions happen at five minutes to five The bombs go off and really mess up the hive If I’ve told you once I’ve told you before The time is running out to walk out the door I don't know how I will survive Way down the road I'm gonna drive Can't take another minute more I'm feeling rotten to the core I don't know how I will survive Way down the road I'm gonna drive Can't take another minute more I'm feeling rotten to the core
