Is this supposed to change your life?
Or is it soundtrack Muzak?
Is this your motivation?
Or only decoration?
Should I want to change your mind?
Affect the way you use your time?
There's so far you can force it
Before you find out what's important:
Do you feel all right?
If you play this in your car
If you sing along, I've done my job
And if it's on while you make out
Then I've done real good
And though the lyric's shitty
If the chords are cliche pretty
You'd better learn to love it
You're gonna hear a lot more of it
Do you feel all right?
Do you feel all right?
Then let me hear you.
