Pts.Of.Athrty Lyrics

[Intro: Mike Shinoda]
Yo, yo, forfeit the game before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame, puts your name to shame
Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last

[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away, if I give in
My life, my pride is broken

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)

You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what you've been through
You live what you've learned

[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
You love the things I say I do
The way I hurt myself again, just to get back at you
You take away, when I give in
My life, my pride is broken

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)

You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what you've been through
You live what you've learned

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda]
Yo, yo, forfeit the game before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame, puts your name to shame
Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last

Forfeit the game before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame, puts your name to shame
Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last

[Interlude: Chester Bennington]
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)

You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what you've been through

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)

You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what you've been through
You live what you've learned

About

“Pts.OF.Athrty” (pronounced “Points of Authority”) is a remix of “Points of Authority” by Linkin Park. It is a single from their remix album, Reanimation. The single features remixes of the Hybrid Theory tracks “Points of Authority,” “High Voltage” and “By Myself”. “Points of Authority” was remixed by Jay Gordon from Orgy, “High Voltage” was remixed by Evidence featuring Pharoahe Monch, while “By Myself” was remixed by Marilyn Manson. The remixes of “Points of Authority” and “High Voltage” are the same as those found on the standard release of Reanimation, while the remix of “By Myself” is a different version found only on the physical single, the Japanese version and on iTunes as a bonus track.

There is also an alternate version of Jay Gordon’s remix, which surfaced on a Jay Gordon remix page in 2008. It is now known that this version is a demo of the song.

There are two different endings to the song: on the album, the song holds out the long note and plays a reversed sample of “In the End”, which leads up to “Enth E Nd”. On the music video, the long note cuts off.
