Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song." Pre-Chorus Honesty or mystery? Tell me I’m not scared anymore. I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I? Chorus I don’t seem obvious do I? Verse The DJ never has it, J A M C Automatic. If those were Roy's headphones, you bet he'd play "What Goes On". Pre-Chorus Honesty or mystery? Tell me I’m not scared anymore. I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I? Chorus I don’t seem obvious do I? Bridge Oh I'm here, that means something doesn't it? Oh won’t you dance with me a little bit? Oh you don’t notice, I guess the music’s too loud. Verse It’s how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows. Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song". Pre-Chorus Honesty or mystery? Tell me I’m not scared anymore. Say anything you want already I’m not scared anymore. Honesty or mystery? Want something else? Just tell me I’m not scared anymore. I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I? Chorus I don’t seem obvious do I? Ending If anyone can tab The Middle, Track 3 on Bleed American it would be much appreciated. Any comments or suggested improvements welcome!
