R E M Automatic For The People

: (Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe) I will try not to breathe I can hold my head still with my hands at my knees These eyes are the eyes of the old, shiver

hold your tongue You don't owe me anything You don't want this sympathy (waste your breath) Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath) For the silver

: (Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe) This here is the place I will be staying There isn't a number. You can call the pay phone Let it ring a long, long, long

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe) When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone, When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang

republic my skinny ass TV tells a million lies. The paper's terrified to report Anything that isn't handed on a presidential spoon, I'm just profoundly

hold your tongue You don't owe me anything You don't want this sympathy (waste your breath) Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath) For the silver
