The Authority Song

Jimmy Eat World

The Authority Song
it's how the hustle goes:
see what the jukebox knows
put my last quater on
i play "authority song"


the dj never has it:
J A M C, automatic
it those were roy's headphones
you bet he'd play "what goes on"


honesty or mystery?
tell me, i'm not scared anymore
say anything you want
i'm not scared anymore
want something else? just tell me
i got no secret purpose
i don't seem obvious, do i?


i'm here that means something doesn't it?
won't you dance with me a little bit?
you don't notice
i guess the music is too loud
