Wicked Campaign - Modest Mouse

Well I just found the fence where I am going to lean

Take my handkerchief out and rub my eyeglasses clean

So I just learned my face, but I forgot my name

I’m gonna wear this smile like it’s some stupid toupee

And say, «Oh, oh, oh, oh, that’s too bad»

Oh, I just learned your face, but it is bound to change

You can say what you want but try to think it my way

And say, «Oh, oh, oh, this wicked campaign»

I said, «Oh, oh, oh, this was not my plan»

Well, you know I’m a bastard and we only just met

I guess I probably shouldn’t wear this big old sign 'round my neck

I’ve still got some opinions that I’m willing to claim

I’m gonna carry them around like they’re some wicked campaign

I started the debate, but now I’m sure I can’t win

I should probably just exit the same way I came in

Well counted calculator, you didn’t calculate this

That there’s a lot more nothing than you knew exists

Oh, oh, oh, this wicked campaign

I said, «Oh, oh, oh, this was not my plan»

Oh, oh, oh, this wicked campaign

Every day is a wicked campaign

Well, I just found the fence where I am going to lean

Take my handkerchief out and rub my eyeglasses clean

And just wait

And just wait

And just wait

And just wait

And just wait

And just wait

And just wait and wait, wait, wait

I’m not dead but I misplaced the will

I’m gonna wear this smile like it’s a hundred dollar bill

And just wait, wait, wait

Wait, wait, wait, wait

I’m not a doctor, but I’ll sell you an itch

I could apologize, but then a bit more nothing exists

So the worlds got plenty of good and bad liars

But our lies should come with chariots and choirs

Singing, «Oh, oh, oh, things are not so bad»

And we sing, «Oh, oh, oh, it’s our wicked campaign»

And they sing, «Oh, oh, oh, things are not so bad»

We sing, «Oh, oh, oh, what a wicked campaign»
