Lyrics for Action & Action

You really think that you're bigger than this To the tune of ten thousand lisps Who would have thought we'd represent When I can't take a compliment? Overexposure is the key And any focus on me Is appreciated as it should be No wonder now I finally found The right formula for You taught me how I play the fool Every mistake that I make I couldn't have made without you What's said is done and plain to see You take it all too seriously What better way to make an honest mistake Than a televised hand of fate When the world's closing in on you A decision would be overdue Now nothing left is out of hand A stronger jaded man stands If the world is ending Then we toast to it I'm stronger now But not without The right formula for You taught me how I play the fool Every mistake that I make I couldn't have made without you What's said is done and plain to see Here's all you get from me Here's all you get from me I'm down for whatever What's there left to wait for? I'm down for whatever What's there left to wait for? Wait for? I wait You taught me how I play the fool Every mistake that I make I couldn't have made without you What's said is done and plain to see Here's all you get from me
