Mr. Warner

Lloyd · Other Songs - Lloyd

I don't know if I should mention this

But I guess I will just accept the risk

Please forgive me for my candidness

But you're the one who went and started it

Singing like an Alice Cooper wannabe

A gimmick to distract lack of ability

I realize Mr. Reznor can't do everything

But don't you want an ounce of real integrity?

I don't really care if this is offending you

I'll scream if from the mountains if I have to

This is the one fixation I'll never lose

This is the choice I can't refuse

I don't know you but you're hating me

Must be my fascist Christianity

I bet it kills you to be forced, to see

You're no more a sinner than a man like me

I'm standing in the trench, calling you a fake

I'll bet you're angel-white underneath the cape

Shock 'em and they give you back a nice career

If you are the devil, make me disappear

I don't really care if this is offending you

I'll scream if from the mountains if I have to

This is the one fixation I'll never lose

This is the choice I can't refuse

Mr. Warner
