It doesn`t matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel that I`ll convey
Some inner truth of vast reflection
But I`ve said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
And it don`t matter who you are
If I`m doin` my job it`s your resolve that breaks
Because the hook brings you back
I ain`t tellin` you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
There is something amiss I am being insincere
In fact I don`t mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow
Was that the hook brings you back
I ain`t tellin` you no lie
The hook brings you back yeah
On that you can rely
Suck it in suck it in suck it in
If you`re Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you`ll win
And then begin to see
What you`re doin` to me this MTV is not for free
It`s so PC it`s killing me
So desperately I sing to thee of love
Sure but also rage and hate
and pain and fear of self
And I can`t keep these feelings on the shelf
I`ve tried well no in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide but I`ve got
Too much pride inside to hide or slide
I`ll do as I`ll decide and let it ride until` I`ve died
And only then shall I abide this tide
Of catchy little tunes of hip three minute ditties
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all of your cities
To the ground I`ve found
I will not mess around
Unless I play then hey
I will go on all day hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That`s really all this was
And when I`m feelin` stuck and need a buck
I don`t rely on lunch
Because the hook brings you back
I ain`t tellin` you no lie
The hook ohh
On that you can rely
It doesn`t matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel that I`ll convey
Some inner truth of vast reflection
But I`ve said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
And it don`t matter who you are
If I`m doin` my job it`s your resolve that breaks
Because the hook brings you back
I ain`t tellin` you no lie
The hook brings you back
