Shinola Lyrics

I have been ringing your doorbell
But you left me standing in the hall
And you make love by the numbers
That doesn't mean there's any love at allNow there you go with a big explanation
Why do you waste your time
And there you go, under estimation
Of the thoughts that cross my mindThis is your promise that you put up for sale
It's done like a picture from a fairy tale
But still there's a difference, let me show it to you
This is crapola, this is Shinola(Shinola)
This is ShinolaI see you're still in the headlines
You pegged the latest trend again this week
I'm not impressed by the outfit
Or your revolutionary chicAnd here it comes, I see you forming the words
You're performing the exercise
And here it comes, it's the feeling that I heard
The same speech a hundred timesThis is the jabber of a chimpanzee
The motion of your mouth looks much the same to me

The differentiation might be hard to see
But this is crapola, this is Shinola(Shinola)
This is ShinolaEveryone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shitAnd here it comes, now I'm forming the words
I'm performing the exercise
And here it comes, it's the feeling
That I've made the same speech a million timesThese are your leaders, come on take a look
They'll lie and cheat and steal then sell the rights to the book
And these are your neighbors who have swung to the right
But you don't have to worry just as long as you're whiteAnd my generation is just waiting to die
We'll swallow anything if it would just get us high
I don't know who's a bigger fool but one thing I know
This is crapola, this is Shinola(Shinola)
This is Shinola
(Shinola)
Yeah, this is Shinola
(Shinola)
This is Shinola
