Don’t Believe a Word Letra - Third Eye Blind

Cigarette fingers, ember stain

Incriminating notes on a paper chain

Did you ever get the feeling that you've been cheated?

I wanna bust out, I've not been defeated

They're all straw bones, they hold no water

Got the whiplash smile, this gets harder

Time has wound down and now we've been cashed

Because half measures are all half-assed

How did we ever end up this way?

And I've gone numb in disarray

Cultivating our ignorance

Didn't we have some standards once?

I hate you and your cowboy boots

Oh, we wanted clever, we settled for stupid

We threw it all away, so indiscreet

Like a bad boyfriend, just a dirty little cheat

It's a shallow, vicious state of mind

Like an angry chump getting dumped online

Give me back my photos, will you?

You fucking whore, I'll kill you!

(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word

(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing

(Don't believe it) 'Cause pretty soon

(Don't believe) That good King George will wake up screaming

Our soundtrack is a soulless thing

Some dull ache replaced the sting

Rap stars brag about shootin' each other?

Whatever happened to "brother, brother"?

We like thugs when they attack and

We like crime when it's black on black and

Isn't this you, cool-hearted fake?

Isn't this more than you can take?

(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word

(Don't believe) Just walk on by

(Don't believe it) 'Cause this moment will pass

(Don't believe) And then we all, can all get high and

(Don't believe it) Don't believe it

(Keep on dreamin') Just keep on breathing

(Don't believe it) Oh, pretty soon

(Don't believe) That good King George will wake up screaming

Wake up screamin'

Hahahaha

Wake up screamin'

Ohhh

(Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah!)

Round up all the big linchpins

I hope we don't get fooled again

All sensation makes no sense

You got some insane confidence

I can't find myself, I can't change the station

In this corporate, sell-out, hillbilly nation

Scandalize now with such ease

America give me back my keys

Sand, it blows and soldier squeeze

Trigger on fake enemies

For all abroad, and all alone

'Til you come home, bring 'em home

(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word

(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing

(Don't believe it) 'Cause, pretty soon

(Don't believe) That good King George will wake up screaming

(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word

(Keep on dreamin') Don't believe a word

(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word

(Don't believe) Don't believe a word
