1 don't bother going through your motions
nothing that makes sense ever works out
don't kid yourself, you know they want money
nothing can be good on its own merit (chorus)

2 put your trust in simple acts
make the flyers get them up all over town
don't kid yourself, you know they want money
please keep in sight what makes you care
you have it always (chorus)

3 you cannot waste a single night
what you ignore is priceless to me (chorus)

i think jimmyeatworld867 hit it right on the nose. please let me explain: "Nothing that makes sense ever works out" - all songs that are popular on tv do not make any sense or just have rediculous lyrics while JEW's songs are amazing and yet (at least when this album was released) nobody knows about it. "Nothing can be good on its own merit" - im sure many of you know of tons of amazing bands that nobody has heard of and tons of crappy bands that everybody is in love with. these unheard of bands are not "good" because they do not have the aid of radio and tv to help advertise their songs. "Don't kid yourself, you know they want money" - record labels do not care about the music, they just want music that people which is why they make bands change their ways which leads to people calling the bands "sell outs" "Please keep in sight what makes you care" - to all bands out there: write songs for you and not to make money or get popular "Your camera flash. On us, meaningless" - JEW doesn't care about being popular, they just care about writing kickass songs (which they succeed) "What you ignore is priceless to me": to all fans of MTV and the likes - all these people ignore JEW cause they have (had) never heard of them before but JEW's music is the only thing that matters in their lives.

Nice tune. Anyone think the 'whey's' in the background sound like a cameo from Noel Gallagher?? pretty close to it

This is a Go Big Casino song, redone in Jimmy Eat World form. This really makes me want a full-length GBC album. Hint: Go Big Casino is Jim Adkins side-project.

"Nothing can be good on its own merit." That's one of my favourite song lyrics ever, not just from JEW, but overall.

this is sooo good. If it is GBC, its thier best so far. I felt thier songs on B.A were some of the weakest on the album.

I thought this song was about how in the music industry they're making music with emotion and making music to make music, not to make money, but thats all that record companies want, they just want the money. The are ignoring the lyrical and musical content, the one thing on a cd that is priceless to the musicians. Its like how the music industry these days cheapen everyone's work because they're after profit. And the message is don't fall for it, just make music that you love and don't get focused on money, play small shows and be happy with what you're doing and don't get greedy. Money puts you in a world that seems perfect but is fake, like a snow globe, plastic shake up snow. Always believe in what you want, not what greed wants. Just a thought...

This song to me always felt like falling in love, even though it doesn't make sense, especially the "Spinning and spinning.." part, just because it makes me feel that out-of-control and amazing sensation of falling deeply, irrationally in love. Just me, but I like how it makes me feel.
