Icon For Hire
Nerves
[Chorus]
I have a heart that gets on everybody's nerves
They don't want the truth, they just want the words
And blah, bla-blah, bla-blah, and I can sing until I'm dead
And none of you'll remember a single thing I've said

[Verse 1]
What's the point in being a voice
When everyone's already sick of the noise?
Everyone's already sick of the noise
Everyone's already sick of the noise
What's the point in trying to change
When everyone's already stuck in their ways
Everyone's happy with more of the same
More of the same, more of the same

[Pre-Chorus]
We were born kicking and screaming
Till we learned to turn it down

[Chorus]
Took our dreams and got in line
Held our breath and hoped to die, fade on
And all along we got it wrong
Live a slow and painful life
Put our heart on hold inside, fade on
And all along we go it wrong
We keep it hush, hush, hush
Have you had enough?
Have you, have you had enough?
Took our dreams and got in line
Held our breath and hoped to die, fade on
And all along we got it wrong
I have a heart that gets on everybody's nerves
They don't want the truth, they just want the words

[Verse 2]
Oh I hate your static pace, you ask no questions, let things be
All you people never learn, and your heart gets on my nerves
And your heart gets on my nerves
And your heart gets on my nerves

[Pre-Chorus]
We were born kicking and screaming
Till we learned to turn it down

[Chorus]
Took our dreams and got in line
Held our breath and hoped to die, fade on
And all along we got it wrong
Live a slow and painful life
Put our heart on hold inside, fade on
And all along we go it wrong
We keep it hush, hush, hush
Have you had enough?
Have you, have you had enough?
Took our dreams and got in line
Held our breath and hoped to die, fade on
And all along we got it wrong
[Bridge]
But no one listens, 'cause no one cares
If you're alive at all, let me see you stare
But no one listens, 'cause no one cares
If you're alive at all, let me see you stare

I have a heart that gets on everybody's nerves
They don't want the truth, they just want the words
I have a heart that gets on everybody's nerves
They don't want the truth, they just want the words

[Chorus]
Took our dreams and got in line
Held our breath and hoped to die, fade on
And all along we got it wrong
Live a slow and painful life
Put our heart on hold inside, fade on
And all along we go it wrong
We keep it hush, hush, hush
Have you had enough?
Have you, have you had enough?
Took our dreams and got in line
Held our breath and hoped to die, fade on
And all along we got it wrong

[Outro]
Oh, we keep it hush, hush, hush
