Lyrics Cage the Elephant

Cage the Elephant

Sell Yourself

Well, I tried to paint my mind but now I'm stuck here in the middle

Got this scalpel in my hand, I'm operating on this riddle

Got my tongue all tied in knots, on my forehead placed a label

Took all my inspiration, carved your name into the table

Don't talk about me, let's talk about you

I know your type, I know exactly what you want to do

And if the money's right, you think I'll just agree?

So sad to see you torn apart by all your selfish greed

So, sell yourself, don't be a fool

Sell yourself then eat a bite

Yeah, you sell yourself, don't be a fool

Sell yourself, sell yourself

All my memories shoplifted, cut and snipped to little pieces

Choking on your cancer, waiting on the new releases

No more need for operators, you already fooled the masses

Nothing left to give you, you already fooled the masses

Don't talk about me, let's talk about you

I know your type, I know exactly what you want to do

And if the money's right, you think I'll just agree?

So sad to see you torn apart by all your selfish greed

Sell yourself, don't be a fool

Sell yourself then eat a bite

You need to sell yourself, don't be a fool

Sell yourself, sell yourself

Sell yourself, sell yourself

Sell yourself

Sell yourself, don't be a fool

Sell yourself then eat a bite

You really need to sell yourself, don't be a fool

Sell yourself, sell yourself
