[Intro: William Beckett and Clinton Sparks]
I'm William Beckett from The Academy Is... and this is the remix of Automatic Eyes from our new album Fast Times At Barrington High. Thank you Alex Suarez
Whoo! I know that you like what you're listening to!
Get familiar!
Big shouts out to MTV!
(Your automatic eyes)
The only channel [?]
(Your automatic eyes)
Clinton-Clinton-Clinton Sparks
(Your automatic eyes)
[?]
Automatic, automatic, automatic

[Chorus: William Beckett]
Do you want me to stay, do you want me to go?
Do you think I recognize
The look on your face when you think that I know?
Blinded as the
Shades draw closed
Time’s up for us
Would you want me to go if you knew what I know?
If you knew what I know

[Verse 1: William Beckett]
Your automatic eyes five years disappeared
Five years disappeared that night

[Chorus: William Beckett]
Do you want me to stay, do you want me to go?
Do you think I recognise
The look on your face when you think that I know?
Blinded as the
Shades draw closed
Time’s up for us
Would you want me to go if you knew what I know?
If you knew what I know

[Bridge: Tyga]
T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-Tyga
Tyga
This verse fresh out the pod
I handle bars like flouride
Staying tall like [?]
Oh, mama, I forgot
The next line cause it's a freestyle
Off the top like he dropped the crown
So bow down cause why would I lie?
Tyga I, automatic fly
Bless the chain got red
Automatic eye, eye, eye

[Chorus: William Beckett]
Do you want me to stay, do you want me to go?
Do you think I recognize
The look on your face when you think that I know?
Blinded as the
Shades draw closed
Time’s up for us
Would you want me to go if you knew what I know?
Get familiar! Hey yo Cassadee, talk to them!

[Outro: Cassadee Pope]
Welcome to the new administration!
This is Cassadee from Hey Monday, our debut album Hold On Tight will be dropping October 7th!
(Whoo!)

The Academy Is… was a pop-punk band hailing from Chicago. The band was formed by frontman William Beckett, lead guitarist Mike Carden, bassist Adam “Sisky” Siska, rhythm guitarist AJ LaTrace, and drummer Michael DelPrincipe under the name The Academy in 2003. The band later added the “Is…” to their name after the release of their then self-titled EP to avoid legal disputes. Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy discovered the EP, and immediately got the record label Fueled By Ramen to sign them.

2005’s Almost Here saw the band go through a lineup change, which involved dropping LaTrace and DelPrincipe and replacing them respectively with Tom Conrad and Andy “The Butcher” Mrotek, and a heavy touring schedule, most notably the Truckstops and Statelines Tour with Las Vegas band Panic! At The Disco. In 2006, rhythm guitarist Tom Conrad parted ways with the band and was replaced by Michael Guy Chislett. The band also signed to Wentz’s Fueled By Ramen imprint Decaydance Records that year, and released their acoustic EP From The Carpet.

While playing Warped Tour 2006, the band started writing for their sophomore effort Santi, which was released in 2007. The band also embarked on the 2007 Honda Civic Tour in support of the album, alongside the likes Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship, and +44.
