Send "The Authority Song" ringtones to your cell

It's how the hustle goes
See what the jukebox knows
Put my last quarter on
I play "authority song"

Honesty or mystery?
Tell me, I'm not scared anymore
(Iiiii Iiiii)
I got no secret purpose
I don't seem obvious, do I?
(do Iiii? do Iiii ?)
I dont seem obvious do I?
(do Iiii? do Iii? do Iiii?)
(I don't seem obvious do I?)

The dj never has it
J A M C, automatic
(do Iiii?)
If those were roy's headphones
You bet he'd play "what goes on"
(do Iiii?)

Honesty or mystery?
Tell me, I'm not scared anymore
(Iiii Iiii)
I got no secret purpose
I don't seem obvious, do I?
(do Iiii? do Iiii? do Iii?)
I don't seem obvious, do I?
(do Iiii do Iiii? do Iii?)
I don't seem obvious, do I
(I don't seem obvious do i?) do i?

Ohh, well I'm here that means something doesn't it?
Ahh, won't you dance with me a little bit?
Ohh, you don't notice cause the music's too loud.

It's how the hustle goes
See what the jukebox knows
(do Iiii?) (do IIII)
Put my last quarter on
I play "authority song"
(do Iiii?)
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me, I'm not scared anymore
(Iiii Iiii)
Say anything you want
I'm ready, I'm not scared anymore
(Iiii Iiii)
Honesty or mystery?
Want something else?
Just tell me
I'm not scared anymore
(Iiii Iiii)
I got no secret purpose
I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Iiiiiii)
I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Iiiiii)
I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Iiiiii)
I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Iiiiii)
I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Iiiiii)
I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Iiiiii)
I don't seem obvious, do I?
(Iiiiii)
I don't seem obvious, do I?

7 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this song is absolutely amazing! i am so in love with every single aspect of it...but i am EXTREMELY partial to the whole clapping thing at the beginning and middle. whoever said its the perfect song to dance in your undies to, i tried it and you are sooooo right! it was a renewing experience guys, everyone should try it
