Sold Out Lyrics

[LML]

I used to go to all your midnight club shows
I used to be your biggest fan
but things have changed
and so have you
you've sold out
for interviews

I've got mixed feelings
about it now
I don't know if I should be in the crowd
the people there just make the scene
your songs don't have any more meaning

maybe I have high expectations
maybe I shouldn't trust my gut
but I know you've got high aspirations
I really don't want you to mess that up

so this letter is a little reminder
to remember the original fans
we liked the old stuff and it was enough
you don't need a rockstar band

we talk about it and we remember
the way that it used to be
you were a nice guy pleasant to talk to
I guess you're not what you seem

maybe I have high expectations
maybe I shouldn't trust my gut
but I know you've got high aspirations
I really don't want you to mess that up

I'm just a fan of a big time sell out
who sold his soul for a dollar bill
I guess I'm cynical about your situation
I guess I'm just being cruel

I see you play on the late night talk shows
I see your videos on mtv
I saw your face on a billboard this morning
it just doesn't seem real to me

it just doesn't seem real to me

[Paco Del Stinko]

Sold Out - Paco del Stinko

I went to buy a Twinkie, but I was much too late
Someone had just bought them all, every last foamy cake

They were all sold out

I had a hanker for a sno-cone, when I saw the ice cream truck
I was the last wanker in the line, I was shit right out of luck

They were all sold out

I'd rather tell you about the government
In the pockets of the CEOs
But I'm stuck here with no doublemint
Or even crumbs from a bag of cheezios

(Give me what I want) I'm ready to pay
(Nagging like a haunt) I can't make it go away
(Please let me consume) I'm looking to spend some cash
(I'm like a monsoon) But I feel like I got a foot right up my ass

I was jonesing for a dough-nut, not your standard jelly roll
When I climbed off of my pony, all I got was the hole

They were all sold out

[Reist]

Sold Out: By Andrew Reist

when people say
look in their eyes
i become afraid
and I realize

when I lose my way
i need help sometimes
but you've gone away
and I'm terrified
terrified

what say you
what say you

not selling out
i know you're there
not selling out
i know you're there

when people pray
i see teary eyes
cause they've gone astray
and i realize

i've got a safer place
that i go sometimes
where i escape
back to better times
better times

what say you
what say you

not selling out
i know you're there
not selling out
i know you're there

what say you
what say you

Verse 1

Take me on a walk to the far corners of your world
To the places never seen
To the archive of your mind

Show me living proof of a divine and elusive truth
Or send me on my way
To a place I'll never find

Chorus
Sold out of the things that matter
Cannon fodder to the convenient path
Sold out of my mother's glory
My father's stories that I'll never catch

Soaring past the righteous
Selling out at last

Verse 2

Piece me all together then take me apart again
Make me in nothing
Put me on the mend

Take a cutoff angle, to my last escape
I'll hallow out my heart
I'll follow you until you end

Chorus

Sold out of the things that matter
Cannon fodder to the convenient path
Sold out of my mother's glory
My father's stories that I'll never catch

Soaring past the righteous
Selling out at last

Bridge

Found me, free me,
Took it to the alter just to hold it
Give me, save me,
Save me from the demon who took my soul and sold it

Chorus

Sold out of the things that matter
Cannon fodder to the convenient path
Sold out of my mother's glory
My father's stories that I'll never catch

Soaring past the righteous
Selling out at last

Sold out of the things that matter
Cannon fodder to the convenient path
Sold out of my mother's glory
My father's stories that I'll never catch

Soaring past the righteous
Selling out at last

This part is bold because it has b's around it aka "Sold Out" by Schhhhhlucky Schpoooooon

VERSE1:
you left him
you told your new ways to the world
every man woman boy and girl
and everyone saw how you changed
even you believed in the game

CHORUS: (x 0.5)
Don't even tell me you know yourself
when you can't even smile without lies
For every plan you declared to us
was heartfelt but compromised

VERSE2
you sold out!
from the fryer you jumped to the pan
a sorry excuse for a man
he dealt the hand you'd refused
but you smiled and said it was you

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Don't talk to me
Just walk away
Those scars are yours
don't bleed on me
For every time that you said you had changed
you lied to yourself and us all just the same

CHORUS (x2)

Sold Out
(Music and Lyrics by Generic SpOOns)

I had to tape my message
To your fridge
Because you didn't have
Any Magnets
From faraway places
That you've been to
Because you threw them
All away
And with that in mind
I don't think it's unkind
To say that you've only ever
Really been to Spain
It's like Amanda Holden on
Britain's Got Talent
The irony is lost upon your
Tiny little brain

Stand back
And show your countenance
That look
Of total ignorance
It's like
The 4th of July
Somebody's pee'd on my
Fireworks

I wrenched my emotions
Back into check
Because you could never
See them
Through the constant haze of
Deoderant sprays
Soaps, burgers and
Detox
And although it hurts
The truth seems absurd
There's no getting over the
Facts as they stand now

Sumptuous Barbeques on
Coiffeured lawns
Eloquence personified
Could be the norm
But living with you
And those things that you do

I got drunk
And I played guitar (x7)
Hero on
Valentines day

<Break>

Stand back
And show your countenance
That look
Of total ignorance
It's like
It's the 4th of July
And somebody's pissed on the
Fireworks

Look left
Before you cross the road
I knew
You when you were at school
No hope
Of a decent job
In fact
You're a bit of a slob
No skills
To really speak of
And your favourite band have
Sold out!

Larry Knox 4/16/09

Little did I know
I had so many dreams I'd yet to find
How was I to know
That you'd sneak up on me from behind
And change this man I am

After I had

Struck out to find mother nature
sold out to the game of life
dropped out to find my future
hold out for another try
Just another try

You just seemed to know
So you bought into all my wildest plans
I bet you always knew
That I'd one day become that giving man
Once I grew to believe

After I had

I had so many dreams that
You just had to laugh
I thought it would be so easy
That's why I'm off the beaten path

I never had to

Strike out to find mother nature
Sell out to the game of life
Drop out to find my future
Or hold outfor another try

Little did I know
And little do I care
As long as it lead me here
As long as it lead me to you

[deetak]

In a process of ever-increasing power
You ought to be familiar with
The maximizing of the will
The instincts that got you here
And now you're here, your graduation

In the morning, when you wake up you have to say,
No other being would live this way
I've set out through my moral code
My passions and no-touch zones
They're crashing in my no fly zone

They got a room at the convention for me and you
Your seminar is sold out!
You'll take the notes when I walk
To this crazy crowd tonight how are you all doing?

The room's all packed
And they got days to go, dates to blow
It's sold out but I won't get on stage
This final lesson I will present to you

In person, the terror of your mistakes
Never were so bad, you courageous one
"The maximizing of the will"
Is the dumbest thing that we've billed
Here's the bill you sold out, man

They got no room for convention
But I'm coming to
The Individual's alone in his destruction if he'll never kiss -
Did you see this crowd?
- the puddle he's born through

[fretnoize]

Sold Out
by David Bax

you've got your fast cars
and your all night bars
and your movie stars
and VIP

you've got your fast lane
and your jet plane
manufactured fame
false reality

you got your trashed art
thanks to walmart
and you topped the charts
but it's paid for

you've got your air time
and your product line
but you've got no spine
is your ass sore?

can't say exactly when you sold out
but now it's too late
it's too late

now you lost all of your street cred
and now you're so fake
you're so fake

you've got shallow friends
dressed to the tens
do you drive a benz
or a ferrari

you've got a runny nose
from all the blow
hope no one knows
but they all see

you've got your fast tricks
and you live for kicks
but you need a fix
and a one night stand

You've got your publicist
psychiatrist
and your junkie chemist
but no one likes your band

can't say exactly when you sold out
but now it's too late
it's too late

now you lost all of your street cred
and now you're so fake
you're so fake

Balance Lost

Timidly step into a conversation that you don't expect to happen 'cause at the end of the line
There is a skinny angel with a lifetime of problems and all your solutions fall depressingly short
Spending life wasting time and losing touch, and you will be fine, you can look after yourself
Don't be afraid to go thinking with your instincts, this could still be resolution to the fruitless search

Take the detour, supermarket, sarsaparilla, they're always sold out
Disappointment appears in the parking lot, it's the least of my fears but it kicks when your down
Julian Graves at the Quayside, empty handed, It's not even popular
But it's always sold out, the stuff is always sold out (to the Man!)*

I haven't known you long but still I miss you being 'round
I know you're sitting somewhere on the other side of town
There's a river flows between us and a bridge to overcome
But my car it has no petrol and my legs they cannot run no more

Julian Graves at the Quayside, empty handed, It's not even popular
But it's sold out, the stuff is sold out

I haven't known you long but still I miss you being 'round
I know you're sitting somewhere on the other side of town
There's a river flows between us and a bridge to overcome
But my car it has no petrol and my legs they cannot run

Here we go and we're gone again
when it's said: overkill will always get to your head
but I swear it didn't come undone until then
but I'm falling into that hole again
overdone and fed up
everybody moves on
I wonder when you gave it all up, you gave in
caving in
on the edge of a dream
on the edge and leaning...

Rip it, can you?
stitch it back up when it opens again
good fortune + bad, bad luck
adds up to who? just me
the super thing you love
is who, what or something that you can't touch
but if they try to tell you you sold out
they try to tell you that you're a fake
I'd glue it up but I know it won't take long to break
and you sold out, too
and I know that you sold out, too

Who wants to buy?
who?
who even wants to buy?

Hold back, can you?
stretch it to the limit and back
declare all that's found, now lost
will you still be blue?
the super thing you want
is who, what or something that you can't touch
but if they try to tell you you sold out
then try to tell you it's all ok
not 'til the day that I fall down and die
will it be ok with me
and I know that you sold out, too

I feel like something's going on
I feel it so I'm going home
I feel it when I sit alone
I feel it so I'm going home

mmmmmmm
mmmmmmmmm

This fame's just not what it's s'posed to be
Your name and your face are too close to me
You're a waste of space and too cold to see
And you'll never have the nails to keep hold of me

Biting
Fighting
Sighing
Flying
Trying
Whining
Spying
Dying

mmmmmmm
mmmmmmmmm

I feel like something's going on
I feel it so I'm going home
I feel it when I sit alone
I feel it so I'm going home

mmmmmmm

"Sold Out" by The Bourbon Drops

I went to the store
to find me some love
but they were
sooold out

So I went to you
to find me some love
and you said
hooold out

your hand, and I will show you the way
we'll find that love between the boards of the covered bridge
'cause darlin, love it ain't always where you think it is

When you came to me
Looking for love
I said I was
Soooold out

I searched all around
in every little town
Just wanting to
Hoold out

for someone to show me the way
to show me love, near the pools by the water's edge
cause darlin love, isn't always how you think it is

Then I saw you
With you heart on your sleeve
Offering
all your love for free
Then I saw you
With you heart on your sleeve
Offering
all your love for free

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, etc.

[MisterQuoons]

Sold Out
By Styop Quoons

Would they want to meet me
If I sang more sweetly?
Maybe they would love me
If I weren't so ugly.

Sing a song and make it
Beautiful and vacant
Maybe I should try it
People seem to like it.

Bridge:
(uh, you can transcribe the jibberish I spoke here yourself if you really want to)

The song that made me famous
I pulled it from my anus
Even though I hate it
At least I finally made it.

Probably couldn't beat it
Now I must repeat it
God this is a dull route
Wish I hadn't sold out.

[glennny]

Sold Out

Lyrics by WJ Evans, Ken Mahru, Martyr, Lunkhead
Music by Berkeley Social Scene

verse 1A
Drinking in the afternoon
Is that what they pay me to do?
Hanging out and killing time
Hold on to the party line

Chorus 1
When I was young
I thought I could be anything
President or Astronaut

Now I sit behind a desk
Day after day
Waiting for retirement


verse 1B
I settled for the benefits
And stuck around for the laughs
I burned both ends of the candle
And came back a pile of ash


Chorus 2

verse 2A
I gave up on something real
For a safer place to steal
A few moments of solace

verse 2B
I never wanted to stay so long
Just for money, now the money’s gone
#%$^@%#$@%???????
And told me to shut up

Chorus 3

Sold Out

How do you feel when you're dreams come true overnight and you don't know what to do?
How do you feel when the world has changed and suddenly everyone knows your name?
They're gonna ask you for it
You'll be playing it over and over again
You know they're gonna ask you for it
You're a fad, you're a fad, you're a fad, but right now

You've got it, everyone wants to be a part of it
Seeing how people will flock to any scrap of creativity
You've got it, everyone wants to be a part of it
Even the people who are perpetually whispering

Wii sold out, Wii sold out
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Wii sold out, Wii sold out
And I can't argue that at all

How does it feel to play that game and know that it's just more of the same?
How does it feel to be one of a kind, knowing it's just for a short, short time?
Still, they're gonna ask you for it
You'll be playing it over and over again
You know they're gonna ask you for it
You're a fad, you're a fad, you're a fad, but right now

You've got it, everyone wants to be a part of it
Seeing how people will cling to a bit of ingenuity
You've got it, everyone wants to be a part of it
Even the people who are perpetually whispering

Wii sold out, Wii sold out
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Wii sold out, Wii sold out
And I can't argue that at all
