dilemma confessional

i walk into the music section and the new dashboard confessional cd is staring at me
I always go to Target first because it's cheap
i'm not one of those people who only shops at certain stores
if the price is right, than for a moment i'm a corporate whore
i've seen chris singing his carrabaoke on 2 talk shows in the last few weeks
letterman and daly, late show and last call
on letterman i almost fell in love with the music again, because it seemed so sincere
but then i saw you on last call and all the robots re-appeared
it's sad that your fans make me not want to like you, because you're probably not that bad of a fellow
but seriously, don't they even start to annoy you, now?
it's only a matter of time before you have a nervous breakdown
there a bunch of stupid mollusks trying to find emo
they sing above you because they feel like you are their leader
or do they believe that they lead you?
maybe you're the robot and they're just the remote control
i just don't know
what i do is that they're not good enough for you
your hair was sticking up like the guy from Travis
and your actions were sticking up for those stupid kids
there were a couple of 30 year old 8th year college seniors who were singing your vocals out loud
and they were actually proud
i felt like screaming out loud "whyyyyy!!!!?"
but I was distracted by the sight of all of them about to cry
then there were the select few who actually looked happy, and just enjoyed the tune
but there were a few there who just screamed because of the way you looked
or maybe the way you looked at them
then there were the ones who didn't know the song yet, because for gosh sakes it's a brand new single
but they pretended to know the lyrics anyway
they just looked like starstruck babbling crybabies
and the ones that did know all the lyrics were horrible, too
i don't know which ones to hate more
you've devoted your whole life to hearing the latest tune first, instead of building up some salivation before quenching your thirst
but still i can't stop thinking about whether i should pick up your new album or not
it's not about the people that would make fun of me, it's about the fans you've got
i know i'll never be one of them, but i'm afraid to get mistaken
if i go to one of your shows i might get taken
they might kidnap me and take me to their space ship
then give me some magic potion and say "here, taste this"
when i try it, i'll feel my flesh turn to steel
then i'll surely know what it's like to be up to my neck in brass appeal
so maybe i'll buy it, and maybe i won't
but if i go to a show i'll bring my antidote
i'll not wear a backpack or some black framed glasses
i'll bring enough cryptonite to annihalate all their asses
if they start to look into my eyes and try to hipnotize me
i'll start handing them all copies of Slayer's Reign in Blood cd's
