Evan Thomas Weiss - Use Your Illusion III (Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Evan's Door) lyrics

[Verse 1] Survey the property for signs of life Don't let others continue waiting Wax for lie on intellectual rights And nostalgia will turn to cave in [Verse 2] A hundred ways for you to get this down Jaded and shaded, it's a tarnished institution now Face-planting on agreements, which I won't discuss A change of scenery and style will never be enough To make a presence last To make illusions toward your past Alright [Verse 3] Who needs to keep score Who needs hired help When you can safely survive all by yourself? Collect the foregrounds, waging common sense Ignoring castle, while the history repeats itself [Verse 4] Did you set the trap? Did you snap the neck? Are you the lasting impression or the new illusion of your past? Fateful lives Catalogs reviving countless references in which I used to sing along But now every note sounds wrong [Bridge] Patience makes purpose You took meetings with everyone you know But you have no idea what you're doing So I drew the curtains Canceled meetings with everyone I knew 'Cause I have no idea what you're doing It's not safe for consumption You took meetings with everyone you know But you have no idea what you're doing Oh, you have no idea what you're doing And so my youth keeps on searching Leaving meetings with everyone I know And I have no idea what you're doing You have no idea what you're doing [Outro] We might've spoken before but your tone did the speaking A hundred ways for you to let us down Jaded and shaded, it's a tarnished institution now A hundred ways for you to let us down Jaded and shaded, it's a tarnished institution now A hundred ways for you to let us down Jaded and shaded, all tarnished now
