Encyclopedia Of Classic Takedowns Lyrics - Shut Down The Streets - A.c. Newman

Are we judged here by the things we say, or is it just the noise we make? 

Long before you were a patent pending 

There was a time you were the artist-friendly one 

When you really have to move, you'll be amazed at the way you learn to hide this stuff away 

At the rider with the new headliner at the show 

Only looking for some new venues you could outgrow 

I didn't mean to live that many lies 

Compiled in an encyclopedia of classic takedowns 

I didn't mean to live that many lies 

At the tail end of a long receiving line, you were a holdout 

Someone really needs to turn the lights out, don't you know there is a war on here? 

It's time enough out on the dead-end streets, you're done exploring 

Done it to death, haven't you? 

I didn't mean to live that many lies 

Compiled in an encyclopedia of classic takedowns 

I didn't mean to live that many lies 

At the tail end of a long receiving line, you were a holdout 

I got the mail on the first day back in the loft apartment left to rot 

Left there listening to 

If it gets more inappropriate, I don't wanna know 

I didn't mean to live that many lies 

Compiled in an encyclopedia of classic takedowns 

I didn't mean to live that many lies 

At the tail end of a long receiving line, you were a holdout
