Wicked Campaign Lyrics - Strangers To Ourselves - Modest Mouse

Well I just found the fence where I am going to lean 

Take my handkerchief out and rub my eyeglasses clean 

So I just learned my face, but I forgot my name 

I'm gonna wear this smile like it's some stupid toupee 

And say, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, that's too bad" 

Oh, I just learned your face, but it is bound to change 

You can say what you want but try to think it my way 

And say, "Oh, oh, oh, this wicked campaign" 

I said, "Oh, oh, oh, this was not my plan" 

Well, you know I'm a bastard and we only just met 

I guess I probably shouldn't wear this big old sign 'round my neck 

I've still got some opinions that I'm willing to claim 

I'm gonna carry them around like they're some wicked campaign 

I started the debate, but now I'm sure I can't win 

I should probably just exit the same way I came in 

Well counted calculator, you didn't calculate this 

But there's a lot more nothing than you knew exists 

Oh, oh, oh, this wicked campaign 

I said, "Oh, oh, oh, this was not my plan" 

Oh, oh, oh, this wicked campaign 

Every day is a wicked campaign 

Well, I just found the fence where I am going to lean 

Take my handkerchief out and rub my eyeglasses clean 

And just wait 

And just wait and wait, wait, wait 

I'm not dead but I misplaced the will 

I'm gonna wear this smile like it's a hundred dollar bill 

And just wait, wait, wait 

Wait, wait, wait, wait 

I'm not a doctor, but I'll sell you an itch 

I could apologize, but then a bit more nothing exists 

So the worlds got plenty of good and bad liars 

But our lies should come with chariots and choirs 

Singing, "Oh, oh, oh, things are not so bad" 

And we sing, "Oh, oh, oh, it's our wicked campaign" 

And they sing, "Oh, oh, oh, things are not so bad" 

We sing, "Oh, oh, oh, what a wicked campaign"
