Hole: Celebrity Skin

PLAYING YOUR SONG

Note: By the way, this is the only song on Celebrity Skin I enjoyed tabbing and it is my opinion that it is the only "real" hole song on the album with a "real" hole sound... And oh my gosh, look at the credits- Corgan had nothing to do with it! Rot in hell, pumkin boy.

LYRICS
Verse 1:
Hey you, 
You're way ahead of me.
You're drunk on apathy,
You burned right out.
Hey you, 
You're just a cripple now.
They sell for millions now,
They sold you out.

Chorus:
Oh, I had to tell them
You were gone.
I had to tell them 
They were wrong.
And now they're 
Playing your song.
Verse 2:
Hey you, 
Don't take it out on me.
You're bored on apathy,
You burned right out.
Hey you, 
So bored and cynical,
It's fucking wonderful 
They sold you out.

Chorus:
Oh, they've bought and sold it all 
It's gone.
They've taken it and 
Built a mall.
And now they're 
Playing your song
Bridge:
Oooh, their innocence 
Tastes like candy, yeah.
Get so fat on it, 
It's a tragedy, yeah.
Oooh, I can help you 
Come to me, yeah.
Just bring your 
Innocence to me, yeah.

Verse 3:
Hey you, 
Don't you dare blame me
You trusted everything
They sold you out.
It's just so mean and cruel
They sold you out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
