Lyrics

Well I've seen your eyes as they fix on me
What is he doing? what on earth's the plan? has he got one?
You'd better give me some pointers
Since you are the big rocket launcher and I'm just the shotgun

Well I ain't got no dollar signs in my eyes
That might be a surprise but it's true
That I'm not like you and I don't want your advice
Or your praise or to move in the ways you do
And I never will

Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail

Well I've seen your eyes as they fix on me
Full of confusion
Your snarl is just so condescending
Try to explain that we're onto a win
If the fee we get in
Near recoups what we're spending

He says, I can't believe that you drove all that way
Well how much did they pay ya? how much did they pay ya?
You'd've been better to stay round our way
Thinking 'bout things but not actually doing the things

Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail

Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail

All you people are vampires
