You wanted a hit
But maybe we don't do hits
I try and try
It ends up feeling kind of wrongYou wanted it tough
But is it ever tough enough?
No, nothing's ever tough enough
Until we hit the roadYeah, you wanted it lush
But honestly, you must hush
No, honestly, you know too much
So leave us, leave us on our ownAnd so you wanted a hit
Well this is how we do hits
You wanted a hit
But that's not what we doYou wanted it real
But can you tell me what's real?
There's lights and sounds and stories
Music's just a partYeah, you wanted the truth
And then you said you want proof
I guess you're used to liars
Saying what they wantAnd we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies 'til you take us homeNo, we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We can't be your babies 'til you take us homeYeah you wanted it smart
But honestly, I'm not smart
No, honestly, we're never smart
We fake it, fake it all the timeYeah you wanted the time
But maybe I can't do time
Oh we both know that's an awful line
But it doesn't make it wrongYou wanted it right
No out of mine and out of sight
No dirty bus and early flight
No seven days and forty nightsYeah you wanted a hit
But tell me, where's the poignant?
You wanted a hit
But that's not what we doAnd we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies 'til you take us homeNo, we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We can't be your babies 'til you take us homeAnd we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies 'til you take us homeNo, we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We can't be your babies 'til you take us home
