42 Contributors You Wanted a Hit Lyrics This song is addressed at some of their “fans” and the music industry, explaining that they don’t really do “hits”. [Verse 1] You wanted a hit But maybe we don't do hits I try and try It ends up feeling kind of wrong You wanted it tough But is it ever tough enough? No, nothing's ever tough enough Until we hit the road [Verse 2] Yeah, you wanted it lush But honestly, you must hush No, honestly, you know too much So leave us, leave us on our own And so you wanted a hit Well this is how we do hits You wanted a hit But that's not what we do [Verse 3] You wanted it real But can you tell me what's real? There's lights and sounds and stories Music's just a part Yeah, you wanted the truth And then you said you want proof I guess you're used to liars Saying what they want [Chorus] And we won't be your babies anymore We won't be your babies anymore We won't be your babies 'til you take us home No, we won't be your babies anymore We won't be your babies anymore We can't be your babies 'til you take us home [Verse 4] Yeah you wanted it smart But honestly, I'm not smart No, honestly, we're never smart We fake it, fake it all the time Yeah you wanted the time But maybe I can't do time Oh we both know that's an awful line But it doesn't make it wrong [Verse 5] You wanted it right No out of mind and out of sight No dirty bus and early flight No seven days and forty nights Yeah you wanted a hit But tell me, where's the point in it? You wanted a hit But that's not what we do [Chorus] And we won't be your babies anymore We won't be your babies anymore We won't be your babies 'til you take us home No, we won't be your babies anymore We won't be your babies anymore We can't be your babies 'til you take us home And we won't be your babies anymore We won't be your babies anymore We won't be your babies 'til you take us home No, we won't be your babies anymore We won't be your babies anymore We can't be your babies 'til you take us home
