LCD Soundsystem - You Wanted A Hit lyrics

rate me

You wanted a hit

But maybe we don't do hits

I try and try

It ends up feeling kind of wrong

You wanted it tough

But is it ever tough enough?

No, nothing's ever tough enough

Until we hit the road

Yeah, you wanted it lush

But honestly you must hush

No honestly you know too much

So leave us, leave us on our own

And so you wanted a hit

Well, this is how we do hits

You wanted the hit

But that's not what we do

You wanted it real

But can you tell me what's real?

There's lights and sounds and stories

Music's just a part

Yeah, you wanted the truth

And then you said you want proof

I guess you're used to liars

Saying what they want

And we won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies

'Til you take us home

No, we won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies anymore

We can't be your babies

'Til you take us home

Yeah, you wanted it smart

But honestly I'm not smart

No, honestly we're never smart

We fake it, fake it all the time

Yeah, you wanted the time

But maybe I can't do time

Oh, we both know that's an awful line

But it doesn't make it wrong

You wanted it right

No out of mind and out of sight

No dirty bus and early flight

No seven days and forty nights

Yeah, you wanted a hit

But tell me where's the point in it?

You wanted the hit

But that's not what we do

And we won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies

'Til you take us home

No, we won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies anymore

We can't be your babies

'Til you take us home

And we won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies

'Til you take us home

No, we won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies anymore

We can't be your babies

'Til you take us home
