[Intro — Distorted Rap]
Name in lights, head in sand
Whole world gets it—one man can’t
[Verse 1 — Rap]
Black out the name on the setlist
Write “the band,” stay anonymous
Miss one note, go forensic
Whole damn room goes bottomless
Play it back till the flaw gets flawless
Pick that corpse till the pulse decays
Meanwhile, two lanes over, some cabbie
Is humming that hook for days
[Pre-Chorus — Rising Scream]
The song got out, went everywhere
Through bedroom walls and midnight air
Funny how the truth got through
Every motherfucker—except you
[Chorus — Screamed / Layered Gang Vocals]
LAST ONE TO KNOW!
FIRST NAME ON THE DOOR!
Counting hairline cracks
In the track they adore
Call it dumb luck
Call it a phase
They’ll still be screaming that shit for days
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
The greatest hasn’t got a clue
Everybody knows
Everybody knows—
Everybody but you
[Verse 2 — Distorted Rap]
Sold-out stamp? “Printer error”
Chart went up? “Slow fucking week”
Built a sound, then watched a thousand
Dollar-store copies learn to speak
Gold record boxed with the paint tins
“Hang it up”—“Yeah, maybe soon”
Mum bought the hook, drilled the plaster
Now it’s shining in the living room
[Pre-Chorus — Rising Scream]
Numbers don’t lie, but doubt does maths
Turns sold-out signs to printing gaffes
Built the wave, then blamed the tide
For every body pulled inside
[Chorus — Screamed]
LAST ONE TO KNOW!
FIRST NAME ON THE DOOR!
Counting hairline cracks
In the track they adore
Call it dumb luck
Call it a phase
They’ll still be humming that hook for days
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
The greatest hasn’t got a clue
Everybody knows
Everybody knows—
Everybody but you
[Bridge — Orchestral Drop / Clean Vocal]
Pull that voice out of the mix
Hear the whole foundation shift
All those tricks don’t mean a thing
When silence proves who made it hit
[Breakdown — Halftime]
WHO WROTE THE LINE?
WHO BENT THE SOUND?
WHO BUILT THE CEILING
THEY CAN’T GET AROUND?
Head down—
Crown crooked—
Whole world sees it—
You won’t fucking look at it
[Final Chorus — Full Scream]
LAST ONE TO KNOW!
FIRST NAME ON THE DOOR!
Still taking yourself apart
While they’re begging for more
Call it dumb luck
Call it a phase
They’ll still be humming that hook for days
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
The greatest hasn’t got a clue
Everybody knows
Everybody knows—
EVERYBODY BUT YOU
[Outro — Distorted Whisper]
Name in lights
Head in sand
The greatest alive
Still won’t understand
