Song Lyrics

Well I`ve seen your eyes as they FIX on me
What is he doing? What on earth`s the plan? Has he got one?
You`d better give me some pointers
Since you are the big rocket launcher and I`m just the shotgun

Well I ain`t got no dollar signs in my eyes
That might be a surprise but it`s true
That I`m not like you and I don`t want your advice
Or your praise or to move in the ways you do
And I never will

Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you`re certain we`ll fail

Well I`ve seen your eyes as they FIX on me
Full of confusion
Your snarl is just so condescending
Try to explain that we`re onto a win
If THE FEE WE GET IN
Near recoups what we`re spending

He says, I can`t believe that you drove all that way
Well how much did they pay ya? How much did they pay ya?
You`d`ve been better to stay round our way
Thinking `bout things but not actually doing THE THINGS

Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you`re certain we`ll fail

Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you`re certain we`ll fail

All you people are vampires
