lyrics

I'm trying to make connection with every little thought hung on your lips
I'm trying to get the picture before my consciousness rips
But your mouth keeps moving, with stupid excuses spilling out
Like a thief who's caught red-handed
Deflecting blame and casting doubt
Casting doubt.

Now I think I need interpretation or this situation analyzed
By someone who is better looking, who can go on camera in a tie
I'm dying for suggestion there's an end to this eternal bout
Like an old man drowning in denial
Deflecting blame and casting doubt
Casting doubt

Everybody's gotta pick someone to love
Everybody's gotta pick someone to hate
Everybody's gotta pick someone to love
Everybody's gotta pick someone to hate
So who do you love? Who do you love?
Who do you love? Who do you love?
Who do you love? Who... do you love?

And now our mundane moments have reached a violent fever pitch
Turn my life into a game show, take my pride and make me rich
Pump me with a thousand volts, feed me lies, tell me to shout
Oh, I know that I could be the loudest
Deflecting blame and casting doubt
Oh, casting doubt

Everybody's gotta pick someone to love
Everybody's gotta pick someone to hate
Everybody's gotta pick someone to love
Everybody's gotta pick someone to hate
Everybody's gotta pick someone to love
Everybody's gotta pick someone to hate
Everybody's gotta pick someone to love
Everybody's gotta pick someone.

So who do you love? Who do you love?
Who do you love? Who do you love?
Oh, who do you love? Who do you love?
Who do you love? Who do you love?
Who do you love? Who... do you love?
