Lincoln's going home (lyrics)

{Verse one}

Step off the scuffed up soap box,
turn down the t.v. scene.
You're not the only one who wants to be the brand new thing.

Forget these burned-out tantrums,
the fight of petty queens.
Absorb the disillusion; no one wants to hear you sing!

(Chorus)

Cause' there's no spotlight for the overrated,
the sold-out tickets won't be for your show.
People don't spend Lincoln to get cheated,
and baby, that is all you've ever known.

Now Lincoln's going home.

{Verse two}

Pack up the microphone and dry,
the watered eyes you had to buy (don't lie).
Alienated values keep you company,
created by the image drama brings.

Flowers dried out in your boudoir,
a museum for that dream.
Already floundering in your stardom,
such is an imaginary thing.

(Chorus)

Cause' there's no spotlight for the overrated,
the sold-out tickets won't be for your show.
People don't spend Lincoln to get cheated,
and baby, that is all you've ever known.

Now Lincoln's going home.

{Bridge}

Oh, the easier that you can make it is the less time that we'll have to fake it.
Charity only runs so deep for a two-faced cheat wearing pawned diamond rings.
Oh didn't you think we'd know...the only thing you can't steal is the show!

(Chorus)

Cause' there's no spotlight for the overrated,
the sold-out tickets won't be for your show.
People don't spend Lincoln to get cheated,
and baby, that is all you've ever known.

Baby that is all you've ever known,
now Lincoln's going home.
