Counterpoints by Magellan
Counterpoints lyrics
Overplayed and understated
Maximized and underrated
Overdrawn and overstated
What about the truth -what about it?
Minimized, overemphasized
Exaggerated just to dramatize
There's a whole lot more than fame here
And a whole lot more to money
Ok, I've made my point now speak up
Let's hear what you have to say
Just give it to me hard - give it to me straight
Tell me I'm wrong about everything
Overblown and sinking fast
Underfoot and overcast
Make a future with the past
What am I to do -what about it?
Overgrown, contemplated
Overloaded, captivated
In a deadly serious game
With a healthy dose of overkill
Whoever said the best things are free
Wasn't around -That never made sense to me
-'Cause after living�
In a way, I'd have to say nothing ever came cheap
So that just can't be�
I am not the only one that lost it
Some things just have to be said
Now I'd like to make it up to you
Pick up the pieces�if you'll let me
Ok, I've made my point now speak up
Let's hear what you have to say
Just give it to me hard - give it to me straight
Tell me I'm wrong about everything�
No time for introductions -no time at all
Listen�
Undermanned and overcharged
Understood and over farmed
Under where? Undertaker.
-Bet he knows the truth, he'll tell you
"Underground, underhanded
Only so much time is granted"
I never said that I had the answers
I never said I knew the truth
But I know if you're gonna die
You might as well - you might as well
Really try and live
Well, maybe that's all there is to it.
Whoever said the best things are free
Wasn't around -That never made sense to me
-'Cause after living�
In a way, I'd have to say nothing ever came cheap
So that just can't be�
I am not the only one that lost it
Some things just have to be said
Now I'd like to make it up to you
Pick up the pieces�if you'll let me
Ok, I've made my point now speak up
Let's hear what you have to say
Just give it to me hard - give it to me straight
Tell me I'm wrong�
I am not the only one that lost it
Some things just have to be said
Now I'd like to make it up to you
Pick up the pieces�if you'll let me try.
How can we replace what we had at home?
Fame will not love you the way I do�
When it's gone.
