[verse 1]
Stop stalling. Make a name for yourself.
Boy you better put that pen to paper charm your way out.
If you talk it better walk it better back your shit up
with more than good hooks. While you’re all under the gun

Start talking. “A sensationalist”
Oh he’s slightly clever to just a certain extent.
If you talk it better walk it better keep your mouth shut
with more than good hooks. While you’re all under the gun

(panic: meet the press)
It’s time for us to take a chance.
It’s time for us to take a chance.
(panic: meet the press)
It’s time for us to take a chance.
It’s ti-i-me for u-u-s...

[chorus]
Well we’re just a wet dream for the webzines
Make us ‘it’ make us ‘hip’ make us ‘scene’
Or. Shrug us off your shoulders.
Don’t approve a single word we wrote.

Well we’re just a wet dream for the webzines
Make us ‘it’ make us ‘hip’ make us ‘scene’
Or. Shrug us off your shoulders.
Don’t approve a single word that we wrote.

[verse 2]
I’m burning and I’m blacking my lungs
Boy you know it feels good with fire back on your tongue
If you talk it better walk it better back your shit up
With more than good hooks. While you’re all under the gun

Start talking. “A sensationalist”
Oh he’s slightly clever to just a certain extent.
Keep Quiet! Let us sing like the doves
Then decide if it’s done with purpose or lack thereof.

OH and, just for the record,
The weather today is
Slightly sarcastic with a good chance of
A. Indifference or
B. Disinterest in what the critics say
Start talking. “A sensationalist”

Oh he’s slightly clever to just a certain extent.
Keep Quiet! Let us sing like the doves
Then decide if it’s done with purpose or lack thereof.

It’s time for us to take a chance.
It’s ti-i-me for u-u-s...

Well we’re just a wet dream for the webzines
Make us ‘it’ make us ‘hip’ make us ‘scene’
Or. Shrug us off your shoulders.
Don’t approve a single word we wrote.

Well we’re just a wet dream for the webzines
Make us ‘it’ make us ‘hip’ make us ‘scene’
Or. Shrug us off your shoulders.
Don’t approve a single word that we wrote.

(booming crashing noises and vocalisation)

Whoa whoa.

Just for the record,
The weather today is
Slightly sarcastic with a good chance of
A. Indifference or
B. Disinterest in what the critics say

Well we’re just a wet dream for the webzines
Make us ‘it’ make us ‘hip’ make us ‘scene’
Or. Shrug us off your shoulders.
Don’t approve a single word that we wrote.

Well we’re just a wet dream for the webzines
Make us ‘it’ make us ‘hip’ make us ‘scene’
Or. Shrug us off your shoulders.
Don’t approve a single word that we wrote.

Just for the record,
The weather today is
Slightly sarcastic with a good chance of
A. Indifference and
B. Disinterest in what the critics say...

    General Comment:I think this song is really just about how they don't care about what the press thinks about them. That they don't care if they label them. Title is awesome. Love this song!

    My Opinion:"Make us it make us hip make us scene
    Or. Shrug us off your shoulders.
    Don't approve a single word we wrote."

    "Keep Quiet! Let us sing like the doves
    Then decide if it's done with purpose or lack thereof."


    Maybe saying that they have to be exactly what the record company wants them to be, because if not their just an unsigned group?

    General Comment:both the "stop stalling, make a name for yourself" and the "just for the record the weather today..." parts are def. referencing the book Diary by Chuck ICan'tSpellHisLastNameButItBeginsWithA"P"AndEndsWith"ick"....
    other parts seem to reference it too, but nothing as direct.

    My Interpretation:I'm kind of wondering if it has to do with the fact that some of the members' parents highly disapproved of them getting involved with music instead of making their lives all about schooling and careers based moreso on intellect. 'It's time for us to take a chance' makes me think about them taking a step out from under their parents' wing and trying something and taking a risk, solely upon themselves. The rest point to the fact that they're making music because they want to and the haters and critics can just stop because they really don't need to hear it. P!ATD is so amazing...

    General Comment:this song is about trend-following/setting electronic music or music in general hence "songs about money written by machines".

    machines can either actually be computers or people conditioned to write to a genre.
