Signing Emo Lyrics

"Narrator": Once upon a time, in the city of Los Angeles

"Marty, Marty listen to me.
Bring me something the kids will cry for.
Get out there and get us stoped"

Meet marty, major label A&R scout
40 years old, gut hangin' out
Red ferrari marty, livin' in LA
bumps another line to get throught the day

Come by his girl
He paid for her liposuction
His friends call him money
In his introduction

And marty knows nothing but claims
And "know it all"
lose the flat-screen TV if he drops the ball

"You're as good as your last hit, find the next big thing"
If he doesn't bring the bling, his cell-phone won't ring
"What's the trend? What's new?" What's a label scout to do?
Office life marty 11:32;

The Label press calls and yells "sign more emo!"
"How about screamo?"
"If it sells, sign Nemo! we're down 2% and BMG knows,
my daughter likes Dashboard so get me one of those!"

He checks AP net
To scout and more
The only band names through his assistant through the door

The kids'll like this
"Who cares if its great"
so he signs a band
called 'Hearts That Hate'

"Marty, we've got a hit..."

"Cry tonight,
My hands around your hands
I wont let you..
Die tonight,
My hearts in your hands
I wont let you"

'Hearts That Hate'
Marty goes to the show
Up in the club
And here we go

Marty sees a girl
In a simple plain shirt
With a 'Senses fail' boy
Ha! that'll never work!

He finds his label friends
In the corner they huddle
An emo cattle auction
They penetrate the bubble

They talk about victory
And signing TBS
Dissing the same bands
The just try to impress

The lights go down
The crowd starts to screamMC Lars - Signing Emo - http://motolyrics.com/mc-lars/signing-emo-lyrics.html
'Hearts That Hate' have hit the scene

Blake on vocals and lead guitar
He does a back flip
"Look how different we are!"

They show up at the studio to record it
A TRL billboard: "Modern Rock Hit!"

They auto-tune Blake,
but he can't tell.
He says, "I've got perfect pitch?
Damn I sing well!"

ProTools. Logic;
Cut, Copy, Paste
Quantised solos and
Quantised Bass

Signed, Sealed,
Delivered and sent
Across the US
And the single went...

"Cry tonight,
My hands around your hands
I wont let you..
Die tonight,
My hearts in your hands
I wont let you... die!"

Momentum builds
But it all caves in
Industral comes back
The press needs a NIN

Marty finds a band
Called 'Fetal Coil'
and 'Hearts That Hate'
Try to keep their fans loyal

They re-work their sound
For album number 2
As 'Machines Of Hate'
But their career is through

They break-up and work
Pushing mops and brooms
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room

"Can you teach me track 5 mr. Blake"
"Hey i wrote that song and it goes like this..."

"Cry tonight,
My hands around your hands
I wont let you..
Die tonight,
My hearts in your hands
I wont let you.."

"(Die. Die.)Cry tonight,
My hands around your hands
I wont let you..
(Die. Die.)Die tonight,
My hearts in your hands
I wont let you..
DIE!"
