Icon For Hire lyrics (including covers)

Rock and roll thugs

Oh the music is in my blood

You don't understand

The music is in my blood

You don't understand

Sleepless nights at the black and white keys

I'll let my fingers say it for me

Sometimes my spirit's still so scared

Once I put it in a melody, it means so much more to me

Fate sealed, I guess this is how I feel

Sometimes I swear the lyrics write me

The lyrics write me

The melody a remedy to calm me down

You never did approve of the fix I found

Bury all the records in the back yard

When you're not looking I'll go dig 'em back up

You can bury my body in the back yard

When you're not looking I'll go dig myself up

And I know all about the drugs, they hide inside the music

I know, I know, I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music

And the preachers at church must've told you 'bout them too

Cause you came home dead set on what you had to do

He said the demons and drugs hide in rock and roll thugs

If I wanna grow up nice I better give the music up

The melody a remedy to keep me right

You never did approve of my sleepless nights

Bury all the records in the backyard

When you're not looking I'll go dig 'em back up

You can bury my body in the back yard

When you're not looking I'll go dig myself up

And I know all about the drugs, they hide inside the music

I know, I know, I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music

Oh the words unwind

My hands rebel

I hide behind these notes too well

I can't pretend anymore

You're not listening

You don't understand

You're not listening

You don't understand

You're not listening

You don't understand

You're not listening

You don't understand

Bury all the records in the backyard

When you're not looking I'll go dig 'em back up

You can bury my body in the backyard

When you're not looking I'll go dig myself up

Bury all the records in the backyard

When you're not looking I'll go dig 'em back up

You can bury my body in the back yard

When you're not looking I'll go dig myself up

Oh and I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music

And I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music

So this is Rock and roll thugs that you can find on their self-titled album, Icon For Hire.

This is one of my favourite songs and if you haven't heard this song before then go check it out. It's really awesome :)

And also this has really been bugging me but for some reason when I publish it the text changes font. So sorry about that :)
