[Ad Libs: Kimya Dawson & Stephan Jenkins]
- Come on, take a dare
- No. See, it's working. I told you this would work
- You're never going to find any peace. You're like a haunted house at midnight. Come on

[Chorus: Kimya Dawson]
Everyone is so self-righteous
Lift your head again and try this
Ooh

[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
If you want this, I do
And I want this, but I can't break through
And I can see you begin to glow
Mmm

[Chorus: Kimya Dawson & (Stephan Jenkins)]
Everyone is so self-righteous
(Get up everyone now
We're all on our own now)
Lift your head again try this

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
And feel you, I do
And I want this, but I can't break through
And your burning lights red and blue

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins & Kimya Dawson]
Everyone is so self-righteous

[Interlude: Kimya Dawson]
Where have you sinners gone?
All you sinners

[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
What's ours is ours
And we're all alone
What's ours is ours
And outside rain
It's just a shower
And then I feel you breathe
And I let go the hours
And I feel your skin
And I let you in
And that's my dream
Again and again
I feel the hours
Sliding by

[Chorus: Kimya Dawson & (Stephan Jenkins)]
Everyone is so self-righteous
(Get up on your own now
Way up on our own now)
Lift your head again and try this
Ooh

[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
Do you want this in you?
You're the only thing that's real
And we don't need to beg or steal

[Ad Libs: Stephan Jenkins & Kimya Dawson]
- I actually like that thing that the idea that what you're wearing is worn by somebody who's probably been dead for a hundred years
- Alright

[Outro: Kimya Dawson]
Everyone is so self-righteous
Everyone is so self-righteous

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
