Mono

Hey yeah, we had everything, vinyl in mono
And we looked the other way, man, we were so dumb
Is this the part in the book that you wrote
Where I gotta come and save the day?
Did you miss me? Did you miss me?

Well, they say that rock is dead
And they're probably right
99 girls in the pit
Did it have to come to this?

And, oh God, you owe me one more song
So I can prove to you that I'm so much better than him
And, oh God, just listen fast
Here comes the crash, we're gonna rise above
We're gotta smash it up, you won't abandon us again

Give us brilliant boys that we wanna fuck, man
Full of ecstasy, hard drugs and bad luck
Turn the lights back on
You burn so hard
But you won't burn long

Three chords in your pocket tonight
Are you, you the one
With the spark to bring my punk rock back?
And I don't think so

And, oh God, I wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that you're sorry again
Oh God, you owe me one more song
So I could prove to you that I'm so much better than them

And, oh God, I'd give you anything
To hear you say that I was right and you were wrong
And, oh God, before I leave this life
Now enable us to love, a hook is never gonna come
Just give it back to me blow out all of the lights tonight

Oh yeah, two million miles down the PCH and now he's gone
I slashed his tires, I bled his brakes, it had to be done
Their hand job lives were just too cruel, you merciless villan
We drowned them all in their swimming pools
Run away, run away, run away

And, oh God, I wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that you were wrong again
And, oh God, I wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that I am so much better than you
And, oh God, you owe us one more song
Just get out my life, see this world as it really is

Is it just a sad side show?
Can make a hooker come and enable us to love
I need one thing that's divine
Let me hear it tonight, let me hear it tonight
I've got to hear it tonight
You're gonna let me hear the lost cord tonight
