Throw a cause at the wall, if it sticks, then you run with it

If you choose from the news, be alert of its timeliness

You don't need a song to come out about some outdated scandal, come and gone

Just cling to basic clichés of fundamental wrongs

Or make it up as you go along

If it works to be hurt, you could be a piece of shit

Leave your house and your spouse like a great escape artist

You don't need your family to read the agony you've inflicted on yourself

The more you push 'em away, the more you'll sell

Ain't that the reason you write your hangdog and forthright songs?

You make 'em up as you go along

You make 'em up as you go along

You make 'em up as you go along

Now you're out on your own, all alone with your hurtful words

All the pain you've attained, you applied to a second verse

No one wants to listen to sins regurgitated on colored wax again

You played your best cards when you were young and insolent

So, here we are

Stumbled on a bridge

Looking for a scar you haven't exploited

Oh, I can't go on

Make it up as you go along

Make it up as you go along

Make it up as you go along-long-long-long

Make it up as you go along-long

Endings lend poignancy

That's really all I want

Make it up as you go along-long-long-long
