Well I came
And I saw
And I saw that I came
And I didn't really conquer
But I didn't really play
I'm inflamed and they named me most likely to be lazy
Well, I think they did
I stopped listening after they nominated me
And nothing's gonna stop me now
That's because I'm sitting still
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And I ain't leavin' 'til I get my fill
I ain't leavin' 'til I get my fill
I'm hot for the teacher and the rhetoric
I'm hot for the well-spoken mechanic
I'm hot like the gritty desert sand, man
I'm hot like Hawaiian Tropic tans, man
I'm gonna say something no one's ever said before
I'm gonna say something no one's ever said before
I'm gonna say something no one's ever said before
I'll figure out what it is in just a minute
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Pay no attention to the tattered, bloody curtain
You can be anything at all
Pay no attention to the man behind the tattered, bloody curtain
He looks like he took
A pretty bad fall
And trying is the quickest way to fail (fail)
And failing is the quickest way to lose your motivation
And that's why I'm stationed at this station
Sublime subgenius submerged in sublimation
Baby nothing's gonna stop me now
That's because I'm sitting still (ooh)
And I ain't leaving 'til I get my fill
I ain't leaving 'til I get my fill
I'm hot for the teacher and the rhetoric
I'm hot like that hot cop mechanic
I'm hot like the gritty desert sand, man
I'm hot like Hawaiian Tropic tans, man
I'm gonna say something no one ever said before
I'm gonna say something no one ever said before
I'm gonna say something no one ever said before
But baby let me think for a minute more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh, ooh
I'm gonna say something no one's ever said before
I'm gonna say something no one's ever said before
I'm gonna say something no one's ever said before (before)
Baby let me think, baby let me think, think for a minute
Let me think for a minute
Just let me think for a minute, oh oh
Now if we just knew how to get it, get it, get it
