Mr. Intentional Lyrics

[Verse 4]
Stuck in a system that seeks to suck your blood
Held emotionally hostage by what everybody does
Counting all the money that you give them just because
Exploiting ignorance in the name of love

Stop before you drop because that's just the way it was
Please don't justify me, Mr. Intentional

Oh, one-dimensional
Mr. Intentional

Oh oh, don't you do me any favors
Oh oh, oh oh

[Bridge]
Wake up, you've been sleeping
Take up your bed and walk
Stop blaming other people
Oh, it's nobody else's fault
Accept the truth about you

You know that life goes on without you
And your expensive misinventions
Disguising your intentions
Don't worship my hurt feelings, Mr. Intentional

[Verse 5]
See, I know you can't help me, Mr. Intentional
The only help I need to live is unprofessional
The only wealth I have to give is not material
And if you need much more than that, I'm not available
Please don't entertain me, Mr. Intentional
Oh, I don't need your sympathy, Mr. Intentional
Stay away from me, Mr. Intentional
[Outro]
So one-dimensional
Mr. Promotional
Mr. Emotional
Mr. Intentional
