Modest Mouse
Modest Mouse's, "Ocean Breathes Salty"
Better Lyrics:
We've got hamburgers and happy meals
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what it costs
And do you want fries with that?
Do you want fries with that?
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what it costs
And do you want fries with that?
Do you want fries with that?
Original Lyrics:
Well that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me
You get away from me
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me
You get away from me

Are you done or are you playing?

Are you done or are you playing?
God I sure hope you are done?
Are you done or are you playing?
Are you done or are you playing?
God I sure hope you are done?
Original Lyrics:
Are you dead or are you sleeping?
Are you dead or are you sleeping?
Are you dead or are you sleeping?
God I sure hope you are dead?

Are you dead or are you sleeping?
God I sure hope you are dead?
