Confucius Says Lyrics by Alex Lilly

2% Milk

2019

[Verse]
Every week I go in and talk about my life
She's taking notes and I feel justified
And I tell her how hard, how hard I try
She's like a friend, I ask her why why why?
Is there a point when it's just rude to cry and cry?
And she follows me with this line
"Put your hands away, it's just no use to even try"
[Chorus]
Confucius says you want it
You want it, you got your fingers on it
You don't want it, tell me something
Follows me right through the night
It follows me, it follows me
[Verse]
Oh oh oh
I can guess I'm mean
Don't want to be cold inside
I freeze the ice or destroy a nice guy
Midnight sits upon her shoulder
She looks me in the eye
[Chorus]
Confucius says you want it
You want it, you got your fingers on it
You don't want it, tell me something
Follows me right through the night
[Bridge]
Denying drinking lying constant thinking
All I did was waste more time
[Verse]
Now I won't try to find the line
In between true art and lies
Luxury and pride, cheap attention
And writing esoteric novels no one ever ever buys
[Chorus]
Confucius says you want it
You want it, you got your fingers on it
You don't want it, tell me something
Follows me right through the night
