Brush Off Lyrics by No Knife

Riot For Romance!

2002

[Verse 1]
Too many people acting so strange
What is it all about?
Sure hope they're happy now
So much for seldom thoughts of frustration
To hold me over as you proudly get paid
So easy I can do the testing
You simply fake the score or you can trade it for
A 9 to 5 professional to let you know...
You're back where you started some time ago

[Chorus]
You brushed it off, it didn't stop you
Didn't bother me 'til now
You brushed it off, it didn't stop you
It's a change of direction
You brushed it off, it didn't stop you
Didn't bother me 'til now
You brushed it off, it didn't stop you

[Post-Chorus]
It's a change of direction
A change of direction
Change of direction

[Verse 2]
We're seeing everyone pretending
To be original by being pigeon holed
Ascending high into the emptiness
We found a way to fill the blank canvas sky
So picture perfect are my choices
To go the easy route, been hearing something 'bout
A 9 to 5 professional to let me know
I'm back where I started some time ago

[Chorus]
You brushed it off, it didn't stop you
Didn't bother me 'til now
You brushed it off, it didn't stop you
It's a change of direction
You brushed it off, it didn't stop you
Didn't bother me 'til now
You brushed it off, it didn't stop you

[Post-Chorus]
It's a change of direction
A change of direction
It's a change of direction
