lyrics

Hey mister mayor thank you so much for the invite
Schmoozing round the town with the hopes to keep our streets bright
It's a small town game with a big boy fight
I know that you’ll take care of it so I’ll have to sit tight because
It's so close to home so you must not be alone
There's people all around you and you are their rock and stone
I hope you've got a handle on it don't become corrupt
My only question:
Do you know exactly what we're picking up?

Can you really call it pain if you like it
Can you really call it pain if you like it

Hey Mr. Congressman, I hope you do what you say
Fight the good fight and make sure victory comes our way
I hope you're here to stay and to fight another day
and you won't give up while we're just pieces in this game you play
Now do another round, keep filling us up with hope,
You can make things better and don't think that that's a joke
Don't leave for something better as you’re climbing higher up,
And one last question
Do you know exactly what we're picking up?

Can you really call it pain if you like it
Can you really call it pain if you like it
Can you really call it pain if you like it
Can you really call it pain if you like it

Hey Mrs. President I'm really getting worried
I need you to help me when the world starts getting blurry
It's so big and scary and I'm trying to be wary,
Protect myself and do what's right and become your adversary
I'm freaking out while some won't live
The stakes are getting high so tell us what more can you give
They're all running wild so collaborate with us
I'll have to fill my cup because you don't know what we’re picking up

Can you really call it pain if you like it
Can you really call it pain if you like it
Can you really call it pain if you like it
Can you really call it pain if you like it

Hello doctor
I think I messed up
My face is busted
Left in the dust
It all happened so fast
I don't know why I'm here
I just really need some help
And you're the only one who isn't in it for yourself

When we crossed the line
And we’re out of time
And we have to make choices that make us lose our minds
I'll just walk
Down the Boulevard
And pry the locker door open
Help me please
Help me please


Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up
