With The Punches - Face Value Lyrics

Safe to say that
you missed the point
of all your favorite lines
you don't stand for anything at all
rather than take the time
to learn to do it right
just sell yourself and lie
because to you it's all the same

if your only claim to fame
is the names you drop
your word's not worth
the breath it took to
spit it out

from the clothes you wear
to the car you drive
to the company you keep
they're all just worthless commodities
hear what you're telling me
but I'm not everybody else
we've seen it all before
we're not impressed
but what did you expect

All the nights spent searching for
new ways to seem more interesting
and it's all just gleaned from magazines
of someone else's life
Find your own personality
a heavy dose of humility
and you might not be a joke
to everyone around you

you're so "this year"
where will the trend stop

I'm not everybody else
I've seen this all before
