Sell Yourself Lyrics

Well I tried to paint my mind
But now I'm stuck here in the middle
Got this scalpel in my hand
I'm operating on this riddle
Got my tongue all tied in knots
On my forehead placed a label
Took all my inspiration
Carved your name into the table

Don't talk about me
Let's talk about you
I know your type
I know exactly what you want to do
And if the money's right
You think i'll just agree
So sad to see you torn apart
By all your selfish greed
Sell yourself don't be a fool
Sell yourself
Sell yourself don't be a fool
Sell yourself, sell yourself

All my memories shoplifted
Cut and snipped into little pieces
Choking on your cancer
Waiting on the new releases
No more need for operators
You already fooled the masses
Nothing left to give you
You already fooled the masses

Don't talk about me
Let's talk about you
I know your type
I know exactly what you want to do
And if the money's right
You think i'll just agree
So sad to see you torn apart
By all your selfish greed
Sell yourself don't be a fool
Sell yourself
Sell yourself don't be a fool
Sell yourself, sell yourself

Sell yourself don't be a fool
Sell yourself
Sell yourself don't be a fool
Sell yourself, sell yourself
