Attention Attention by Shinedown

Attention, attention, get down on the floor
Don't reach for your pockets, don't run for the door
The tension, the tension, it's urgent, it's real
The cameras are rolling, the envelope's sealed
Attention attention, by the way, did I mention?

The stories I hear are the stories I tell
Like jumping over buildings and sneaking out of hell
Intention, retention, it's all in your head
That pretty little mistress, that's hiding in your bed
Attention attention, by the way, did I mention?

Nothing 'bout me is ordinary
My friends all say I'm going crazy
I don't hear a word that they say
Cause the voices in my head are legendary
But I'll never tell 'em where the bodies are buried
Keeps them coming back every day

Oh no, oh no, they're just villains in my mind doin' time
Oh no, oh no, they're just matches burning holes in my soul

Attention attention, 'cause this ain't a stunt
The judge is a racist, the jury's corrupt
The shelves are all empty but the seats are all filled
If you're a shiny new penny, I'm a hundred dollar bill
Attention attention, by the way, did I mention?

Nothing 'bout me is ordinary
My friends all say I'm going crazy
I don't hear a word that they say
Cause the voices in my head are legendary
But I'll never tell 'em where the bodies are buried
Keeps them coming back every day

Oh no, oh no, they're just villains in my mind doin' time
Oh no, oh no, they're just matches burning holes in my soul

Attention, attention
Attention, attention
They're just villains in my mind doin' time

Nothing 'bout me is ordinary
My friends all say I'm going crazy
I don't hear a word that they say
Cause the voices in my head are legendary
But I'll never tell 'em where the bodies are buried
Keeps them coming back every day

Oh no, oh no, they're just villains in my mind doin' time
Oh no, oh no, they're just matches burning holes in my soul
Oh no, oh no, they're just villains in my mind doin' time
Oh no, oh no, they're just matches burning holes in my soul

Attention attention
Attention attention

These guys sound like a cross between Linkin Park & Faith No More

Good message though ~ we all should pay more attention

'Just villains in my mind doin time'

Reminds me of ~

So the other day I'm talking to my psychiatrist and I tell him I've been hearing voices.

You know what he tells me?

I don't have a psychiatrist

Anywho, we should pay attention to the little things too

Sometimes they're the only things that get us through

This song sounds like something Ryan Patterson would have been listening to on his getto blaster in the back of upper crust while he washed dishes. I would have gone back there and asked what crap he is listening to now. He would have said it was rad. I would have said it sounds like garbage. I would be right.

Rad!.... On a related note.. July has a toy Thor's Hammer that he saved up to buy for a period of time. I just looked at it and there is a warning on it that says don't strike people or animals... Riiiiiiiiight. What the hell do they think he is going to do with it? Make some tea?
