about

"Bill Says" was originally recorded for "What is Nerdwave?" but we decided to hold it back at the time. We fell in love with it again and felt like it should see the light of day!

lyrics

You're going down, toiling in your mock obscurity,
In your home town, drunk upon the dead-end surety.
Look in their eyes, see the glimmer of light,
Rocket is rising, but just not tonight,
By next week you'll be sure.

Flirting with time, making out around the corner walk,
The honest man's crime, wanting to believe your doubletalk.
Making your bed in sincerity's shoes,
Talking the talk, but you're fighting to lose,
When Verity gets out.

It's the way of the world,
It's your way out of time,
If you're not on the map,
Then your path is a lie.

In the kingdom you choose,
All you have is your vote,
That's when your drunken Earl takes note.

Walking around, full of all the rock idolatry,
In every new town, selling off the pre-teen poetry.
Getting a buzz off the glamor of youth,
We are the new men, declaring the truth,
That shapes before your eyes.
