Stitchin' up your etiquette
Smoke another cigarette
Small talk I'll soon forgot
- They haven't got me yet

You say what you say but you don't really mean it
The things that you do are not who you are
You're hitching a ride to the ivory tower
I'm thinking we all could use a brand new heart
You say what you say but you don't really mean it
The things that you do are not who you are
I don't want any of your guest list power
Or your champagne and caviar

Burning up your gossip fuel
I know the flame feeds your cool
A teacher's pet is still in school
- Go find another fool

You say what you say but you don't really mean it
The things that you do are not who you are
You're hitching a ride to the ivory tower
I'm thinking we all could use a brand new heart
You say what you say but you don't really mean it
The things that you do are not who you are
I don't want any of your guest list power
Or your champagne and caviar

Looks like you made one more wrong turn
So much self respect you've gotta earn
I guess you've got a lot to learn
You got bridges on fire and you watch 'em burn

You say what you say but you don't really mean it
The things that you do are not who you are
You're hitching a ride to the ivory tower
I'm thinking we all could use a brand new heart
You say what you say but you don't really mean it
The things that you do are not who you are
I don't want any of your guest list power
Or your champagne and caviar
