lyrics

Verse 1:

I won't kill a man just to feel again
but I'll try to stay aware my friend
I'll pick my beard instead of a job
The whole world knows I'm a music snob

And I'll speak these words like they're meaningless
Yet I take my pills to fight emptiness
With hopes one day that I'll feel fine
Don't worry I know I'm not one of a kind

I know I'm not some genius
Just cause I come up with a couple lyrics
But it keeps my mind off other things
It keeps me calm, it gives me wings

Here's why I only talk about myself
It's tough to think of someone else
Cause from my point of view, their life looks great
But that's only because this worlds so fake

Chorus:

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Verse 2:

I met this man a few weeks ago
Who said "I'll rock your socks off bro"
He took out his guitar and played me his song
But to his surprise my socks were still on

I said I'm sorry to burst your bubble Joe
But that wasn't exactly what I'd call a show
Joe then slowly started to deflate
It was tough watch him lose his bubbly state

A plane full of cats hit a copter full of dogs
They all fell down in a bloody fog
Ruining the parade far down below
killing the mood of my new friend Joe

I guess that's why this worlds so fake
We all need to pretend for the others sake
We all need to pretend that we like Joe's song
But we don't need to go as far as to sing along

Chorus:

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Bridge:

Mr. Joe, hey why, yeah why did you go to sleep

And hey I said why, yeah why did you go to sleep

why Mr. Joe, yeah why did you go to sleep

And hey I said why yeah why did you go to sleep

He didn't say a word…
