Paid To Get Excited Lyrics

Artist: Butch Walker
Album: The Rise And Fall Of Butch Walker And The Let's-Go-Out-Tonites!

And the sky is falling upwards on a summer desert night,
While kids in school are forced to sing the battle hymns just right,
Extras paid to get excited on the tv screen,
So doped up on diversions that they dont know what it means

To be free to hate the ones you hate,
Free to love the ones you love,
Free to like the land you live on,
Not the one who leads,
All I'm sayin', dig the grave you lay in,
After all, you make the call,
Hang up before its too late

Make sure to give your full attention smile the best you can,
Watch this hand give peace sign while the other chokes a man,
Cuz he wants to love another man they'll tell you that its bad,
Some book that set the moral codes is glamourized in ads

So be free to hate the ones you hate,
Free to love the ones you love,
Free to like the land you live on,
Not the one who leads,
All I'm sayin', dig the grave you lay in,
After all, you make the call,
Hang up before its too late

And the backflipping, spike-haired preachers preaching through their headset mics
Saying god is the new elvis and he's "gonna rock tonight"
So just sip on that new energy drink although it tastes like shit
Cuz a pretty t.v. couple says they cant live without it

Free to hate the ones you hate,
Free to love the ones you love,
Free to like the land you live on,
Not the one who leads,
All i'm sayin', dig the grave you lay in,
After all, you make the call,
Hang up before its too late
Free to hate the ones you hate,
Free to love the ones you love,
Free to like the land you live on,
Not the one who leads,
All i'm sayin', dig the grave you lay in,
After all, you make the call,
Hang up before its too late

Ooooooooh
