You never hear what I hear
It never sounds the same
You watching from the sidelines
Me really on my game
Shining in a universe
Where no one tells the truth
Always risking everything
To show myself to you

You're wrong about the song
You never get it right
And I hate every band
That you pretend to like
You're wrong about the song
I know this deep inside
It's my soul, it's my life
You're so wrong 'bout the song

You don't feel the emotion
The melody leaves you cold
So full of self-indulgence
No chance at radio
I'm much better with the cracks
Head held high and shoulders back
Me, I'm barely twenty-one
The DJ thinks I'm old

You're wrong about the song (so wrong)
You never get it right (never get it right)
And I hate every band (and I run deep)
That you've been told to love (you've been told to love)
You're wrong about the song (so wrong)
I know this deep inside
It's my soul, it's my life
You're so wrong (so wrong) 'bout the song

Fame with an off button
Used to be a drag
But I took myself to Gucci
And bought myself a handbag
I looked into the mirror and said
"How y'all feel out there?"
All this happened in real-time
And Grayson Perry was there
Fixing his hair

You're wrong about the song (so wrong)
You never get it right (never get it right)
And I hate every band (and I run deep)
That you've been told to love (you've been told to love)

You're so wrong about the song
It happens all the time to very good friends of mine
You're so wrong about the song
If you heard it fifty thousand times, it'd stick right to your mind
You're so wrong about the song
It happens all the time to very good friends of mine
