Faustian Bargain Lyrics

You'll never be anyone going anywhere worth anything
And  how does that make you feel?
It  don't bother me can't you see I'm sitting here thinking up identities
I'm happy to be anyone but me

And, I don't really love you but I really love that you love me
Oh  and I‚ could care less but I really care that you care
I  know that it's wrong but it doesn't really make it less funny
I still wanna be a star and a singer and an artist and a saint / rich / loved slash my throat

And  watch the droll rain out with the blood
Lose a little bit of levity to lighten the load
Having a problem is the first step to admitting you have one
Fame for caustic jargon is a Faustian bargain yah that's for sure

Learned  lyrics bore us
Consonance merely a cop-out
Repeat the catchy chorus
Until the lyrics drop out

Now watch your life in its entirety unfold
Use a little bit of brevity too
Selling your soul's only an option if you're lucky to have one
Fame for caustic jargon is a Faustian bargain yah that's for sure

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
