The Academy Is...

we've got one chance to break out
and we need it now
cause i'm sick and tired of waiting
sick of this fucking apartment
love me or leave me or rip me apart
this is the voice that i was given and
if you dont like it take a long walk
off of the shortest pier you can find
and i'll be singing it out i'll be singing...
oh, Mr. Magazine i never wrote one single thing for you
or your so-called music scene
you dont mean a thing to me
pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up
when they review the debut
what if the critics hate you
dont worry cause they
might just catch somebody off their feet
well they can love it or leave it or rip it apart
we're living while we're singing
so i guess that's a step in the right direction
glare of composition in the honesty, honesty
oh, Mr. Magazine
