Song lyrics

You wanted a hit
But maybe we don't do hits,
I try and try
It ends up feeling kind of wrong.

You wanted it tough,
But is it ever tough enough?
No, nothing's ever tough enough
Until we hit the road.

Yeah, you wanted it lush
But honestly you must hush,
No honestly you know too much,
So leave us, leave us on our own.

And so you wanted a hit,
Well, this is how we do hits,
You wanted the hit
But that's not what we do.

You wanted it real
But can you tell me what's real?
There's lights and sounds and stories,
Music's just a part.

Yeah, you wanted the truth,
And then you said you want proof,
I guess you're used to liars
Saying what they want.

And we won't be your babies anymore,
We won't be your babies anymore,
We won't be your babies
'Til you take us home.

No, we won't be your babies anymore,
We won't be your babies anymore,
We can't be your babies
'Til you take us home.

Yeah, you wanted it smart
But honestly I'm not smart
No, honestly we're never smart
We fake it, fake it all the time

Yeah, you wanted the time,
But maybe I can't do time,
Oh, we both know
That's an awful line,
But it doesn't make it wrong.

You wanted it right
No 'out of mind and out of sight',
No 'dirty bus and early flight',
No 'seven days and forty nights'.

Yeah, you wanted a hit
But tell me where's the point in it?
You wanted the hit
But that's not what we do.

And we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies
'Til you take us home

No, we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We can't be your babies
'Til you take us home
