Say Anything - The Futile Lyrics






Shit!
Nothing makes sense, so I won't think about it. I'll go with the ignorance.
Eat, sleep, fuck and flee; in four words, that's me.
I am full of indifference.

What do the old people teach us but how to die (die) die (die)
and what do those hissy fits teach you except how to cry, pussy, cry?
Yeah the futile, the futile, it outweighs the beautiful.
Futile, the futile, it outweighs the beautiful.
Futile, the futile, the futile so (the futile, the futile)

Taste. I have no taste.
I don't like these tiny portions with your artful abortions of sound,
sealed with a kiss, slathered in the sauce sarcastic.
So go choke on your irony.

What do the old people teach us but how to die (die) die (die) die
and what do your hissy fits teach you except how to cry, pussy, cry?
Yeah the futile, the futile, it outweighs the beautiful.
Futile, the futile, it outweighs the beautiful.
Futile, the futile, the futile so

I'm eating rat poison for dinner.
Pull the cord from the phone. I am dining alone,
Tonight, rat poison for dinner.
Pull the cord from the phone. I am dining alone,
So goodnight.

Love! I shall not love, yet I'll still sing about it.
I hope it covers the ocean in slime, the drama and drool.
I'm leaking the blood of a fool. (I'm full of it, I'm full of it, I'm full.)
Rat poison for dinner,
pull the chord from the phone. I am dining alone.
Tonight. Rat poison for dinner,
pull the chord from the phone. I am dining alone.
Tonight.
Oh I am dining alone.
Tonight. Tonight. Tonight.

  6. M.... Y....

    Eat, sleep, fuck and flee! In 4 words thats me. 😁

  7. M.... G....

    This song is perfect for twitter liberals; "What did your hissy-fits teach you except how to cry, PUSSY, CRY!"

  8. R.... S....

    This whole album just encapsulated all my pissed off/horny/confused teenage feelings. I'm grateful to have had them during the dumpster fire that was high school.

    R.... S....

    I had slim shady lp, and ppl wonder why I'm so fukd up...

  9. M.... W....

    Oh, hello again there my high-school senior year!

  10. B.... Z....

  11. x.... ....

    Christ, that alarm at 2:07 scared the piss out of me. I was smoking and drinking and really didn't expect it. Lol.

    x.... ....

    You're daft.

    x.... ....

    are you like 14? in real life, adults smoke and drink. get over it.

    x.... ....

    Just checking in from northern California - smoking and drinking. The alarm scared me. Even through time and space, words let us share just a tiny bit of a human experience. Kinda neat.

    x.... ....

    DenverAA Agreed

    x.... ....

    Yo I’m late but this exactly what happened to me😂y the fuck did bro put a microwave in the song

  12. M.... C....

    Need instrumentals

    M.... C....

    He needs the instrumental version of it to maybe make a remix or just hear the song without lyrics

    M.... C....

    That make WAAAY more sense xD (If you know anything about some SA fans they get super angsted out about how Max made the later songs and how there needs more instrumentals which is why I was like pls"

    M.... C....

    I used a Brand New Song Instead.

    M.... C....

    Amazing choice omg which one?

    M.... C....

    @MancuerdaAbsol I used Jude Law and a Semster Abroad for the first half and then Jesus Christ for the second half. Yeah Brand New is awesome!

  13. R.... C....

    Die! DIE!

  14. V.... K....

  21. S.... S....

    Say Anything is so a mid 20's diary in this album.

  65. L.... A....

    @MyEmptyCore
    Ha ha ha I do that all the time

  66. D.... B....

    lyricly my personaly OPINION!! key word opinion so dont bash my opinoion unless you want to look silly. but i think the song is talking about some times having to push a side your feelings and everything just to get past a really hard part in life . and dealing with the problems life brings every day mostly love and relationships.

  67. m.... ....

    @flyingsteveee While trying to prove a point, you bash religion for no reason...cool story, bro!

  68. m.... l....

    i haven't heard this in years. Great angry song!!!! best listened to when happy

  69. L.... ....

    this songs is basically a really pissed off guy singing about random violent things but it cracks me up everytime i listen to it XDDD

  70. L.... ....

    is it sad I say the opening line whenever I do my physics homework?

    L.... ....

    Maybe 7 years late maybe you've started working now and already put physics behind you but yes kinda

    L.... ....

    @Asian Caillou ahh i love replying to old comments soo much aswell heh..

  71. S.... P....

    @NotPeopleShouting no dude... that's just a stupid myth people have become to believe. like christianity. but it's actually because of the molecules enclosed in our atmosphere, which, when struck with light does appear blue, indeed. but when there's no light, like at night, you can see right through it. kinda like steam i suppose.

  72. i.... i....

    @NoPeopleShouting: all you did was explain why the sky is blue=P

  73. L.... ....

    I got a confusing text...then this song came on "shit nothing makes sense..." best moment of my day 3

  74. i.... ....

    @Ryze244 therein lies the awesome.

  75. s.... ....

  78. C.... R....

    @Ryze244 I have some free time, so I thought I'd answer your cry for attention.

  79. R.... D....

    @thextremepowershow Your opinion does not = fact.

  80. R.... D....

    @MyEmptyCore you are gay and that was a terrible story.

  81. G.... ....

    does it really matter whether or not its mainstream or underground, they make money doing it which means that people clearly like it, nobody likes getting their shit hate on so why the fuck yall doing it to others, people like what they like if its not illegal leave them the fuck alone.

  82. a.... k....

    @babiesdie Not even close to main *stream* and this is 1. Good 2. Very Underground if you took a survey of who knows Say Anything or Linkin Park 99% would say Just Linkin Park and 1% would say both.

  83. W.... B....

    @gerfall Lolumad, bro?

  84. R.... C....

    RAWR! I god damned cummed out my ear holes! and im not even gona clean it up :P

  89. D.... O....

    @gerfall Well, you obviously wouldn't know good music if it kicked you in the teeth.

  90. G.... ....

  91. e.... ....

  93. T.... W....

  94. I.... B....

    i always sing this song so one day i was at my parkour pratice and i was going fo and under bar and i smacked my leg on it(i have no idea how) but i just yelled shit! then i just started singing the "nothing makes sence" but the other people on my team didnt get it because they had never heard the song and thought i was trying to talk like phantom of the oprea. this happened months ago.... they still make fun of me lol :p

  95. e.... ....

    How did they get their sound to be so generic, its amazingly mind numbing and useless to the talented music community.

  96. S.... G....

  97. m.... ....

    SHIT NOTHIN MAKES SENCE
