lyrics

The Movie We’re In

We were our secret
We didn’t go wrong
We wouldn’t hang out
Or make a scene long

We follow our rules
And skip the long trial
And be Day for Night
Until the new style

We were our secret
We were our secret

I think movies are based on what people
Have already thought up of.
Like that zombie shit?
Raping girls and portrayin’ this on TV.

What’s good about forcing somebody to do?
Something they don’t want to do?
I’m against that.
If a guy knows he aint no man.
And, you know, yo,
Sometime the way people are portrayin’.
Like my favorite movie is House.
I’m drunk right now.

Cemetery of hope, cemetery of hope
Kill rush it’s like a kill rush
Cemetery of hope, cemetery of hope
Kill rush it’s like a kill rush

The movie we’re in
This is the music that tells us
What part of the movie we are in now
The movie we’re in
This is the music that tells us
What part of the movie we are in now
This is the music that tells us
What part of the movie we are in now

Oh my God.
I’ll leave my wife for you.
Law and Order. CSI.
I watch them but I don’t get to the channel on time.
I’m 27. You’re still young.
Not criminal. But the SUV. You know? CSUV?
You alright honey?

So in other words, I want this so bad
That if you’ll sit in front of me long enough
I’ll create it.

We follow our rules
And be Day for Night
Until the new style

The movie we’re in
The movie we’re in
This is the music that tells us
What part of the movie we are in now
The movie we’re in
The movie we’re in
This is the music that tells us
What part of the movie we are in now
The movie we’re in
The movie we’re in
This is the music that tells us
What part of the movie we are in now
