The Authority Song (Demo Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's how the hustle goes
See what the jukebox knows (Do I?)
Put my last quarter on
I play "Authority Song" (I)

[Pre-Chorus]
If you have questions, ask me
I won't be scared anymore (I, I)
It's not my single purpose

[Chorus]
I don't seem obvious, do I?

[Verse 2]
The DJ never has it
J.A.M.C., automatic
(Do I?)
If those were my headphones, you bet I'd play "What Goes On" (Do I?)

[Pre-Chorus]
If you have questions, ask me
I won't be scared anymore (I, I)
I thought I knew what happy was
I've been down that road before (I, I)
If you've got questions, ask me
If you're not sure, just tell me
I'm not scared anymore
It's not my single purpose
[Chorus]
I don't seem obvious, do I?

[Bridge]
Oh, well I'm here that means something doesn't it?
Ah, won't you dance with me a little bit?
Oh, you don't notice 'cause the music's too loud

[Verse 3]
It's how the hustle goes
See what the jukebox knows (Do I? Do I?)
Put my last quarter on
I play "Authority Song" (Do I?)

[Pre-Chorus]
If you have questions, ask me
I won't be scared anymore (I, I)
I thought I knew what happy was
I've been down that road before (I, I)
If you've got questions, ask me
If you're not sure, just tell me
I'm not scared anymore
It's not my single purpose

[Chorus]
I don't seem obvious, do I?
I don't seem obvious, do I?
I don't seem obvious, do I?
I don't seem obvious, do I?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
