Mannequin with a Megaphone Lyrics

Mannequin With a Megaphone
Well look at you standing there
The camera’s blushing at your charming stare
You’ll say anything to swing our eyes toward you
You change your tune ‘til we dig the sound
You’ll sell your soul to the lost and found
Cross your fingers and swear you’ll tell the truth
Well go ahead and talk all you want but you ain’t gettin’ through
You blaze a trail from state to state
Sharpen your tongue for the next debate
Kiss a baby or two for the evening news
Well go ahead and talk all you want but you ain’t gettin’ through
Yeah go ahead and talk all you want but you ain’t gettin’ through

You’re like a…
Mannequin with a megaphone a big pine fallin’ in an empty forest
And you ain’t makin’ a sound ‘cause we’ve quit listenin’ to you
You’re like a broken record in a waxy groove
You’ve got a lot to say but more to prove
And you’ve lost your voice we’ve quit listenin’ to you
Well go ahead and talk all you want but you ain’t gettin’ through
You’d sell your mama if you had the chance
Deny the proof of your secret romance
With your feet to the fire you’ve been playin’ it cool
Flippin’ channels but who’s to say
On one you’re a sinner and the other a saint
You’re playing us like we’re the media’s fool
Well go ahead and talk all you want but you ain’t gettin’ through
Yeah go ahead and talk all you want but you ain’t gettin’ through
And you’re like a…
Mannequin with a megaphone a big pine fallin’ in an empty forest
And you ain’t makin’ a sound ‘cause we’ve quit listenin’ to you
You’re like a broken record in a waxy groove
You’ve got a lot to say but more to prove
And you’ve lost your voice we’ve quit listenin’ to you
Well go ahead and talk all you want but you ain’t gettin’ through
Yeah go ahead and talk all you want but you ain’t gettin’ through
