[Intro]
Kill the lights!
[Pre-Chorus]
Hello, ladies and gentlemen
I'm glad you've graced me with your presence
You're in time to see me wrestle with my conscience
And staring in the si-si-si-silence
[Chorus]
You see, I came to save the stage
I hope I'm not too late
Passion called from back behind the curtain screaming
"Sonny, this is urgent!"
[Verse 1]
Fill these fifty verses with a purpose
But don't just give it away
Inspiration isn't cheap these days
You better make them earn it
[Bridge]
You better make them earn it, make them earn it
You better make them earn it, make them earn it
[Pre-Chorus]
Hello, ladies and gentlemen
I'm glad you've graced me with your presence

And staring in the si-si-si-silence
[Chorus]
You see, I came to save the stage
I hope I'm not too late
Passion called from back behind the curtain screaming
"Sonny, this is urgent!"
You see, I came to save the stage
I hope I'm not too late
Passion called from back behind the curtain screaming
"Sonny, this is urgent!"
[Outro]
How do I address a letter to my generation?
"Sonny", she said, "Save yourself the postage!"
How do I address a letter to my generation?
"Sonny", she said, "Sing it in person!"
[Instrumental Outro]
Kill the lights!
