You wanted a hit

But maybe we don't do hits

I try and try

It ends up feeling kind of wrong



You wanted it tough

But is it ever tough enough?

No, nothing's ever tough enough

Until we hit the road



Yeah, you wanted it lush

But honestly you must hush

No honestly you know too much

So leave us, leave us on our own



And so you wanted a hit

Well, this is how we do hits

You wanted the hit

But that's not what we do



You wanted it real

But can you tell me what's real?

There's lights and sounds and stories

Music's just a part



Yeah, you wanted the truth

And then you said you want proof

I guess you're used to liars

Saying what they want



And we won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies

'Til you take us home



No, we won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies anymore

We can't be your babies

'Til you take us home



Yeah, you wanted it smart

But honestly I'm not smart

No, honestly we're never smart

We fake it, fake it all the time



Yeah, you wanted the time

But maybe I can't do time

Oh, we both know that's an awful line

But it doesn't make it wrong



You wanted it right

No out of mind and out of sight

No dirty bus and early flight

No seven days and forty nights



Yeah, you wanted a hit

But tell me where's the point in it?

You wanted the hit

But that's not what we do



And we won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies

'Til you take us home



No, we won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies anymore

We can't be your babies 

'Til you take us home



And we won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies

'Til you take us home



No, we won't be your babies anymore

We won't be your babies anymore

We can't be your babies 

'Til you take us home
