It’s how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.
Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song".

Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I’m not scared anymore. aahhahhahh
I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I?
I don’t seem obvious do I? Do I aiaiai

The DJ never has it, J A M C Automatic. aaahhhaii
If those were Roy's headphones, you bet he'd play "What Goes On".
aaahhhaii

Honesty or mystery? aahhaiahhai

Tell me I’m not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I?
I don’t seem obvious do I? Do I aiaiai. I don’t seem obvious do I? Do I aiaiai.

(The Bridge)
Do I?
Oh I'm here, that means something doesn't it?
Oh won’t you dance with me a little bit?
Oh you don’t notice, I guess the music’s too loud.


It’s how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.
Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song".

Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I’m not scared anymore.
Say anything you want already I’m not scared anymore.
Honesty or mystery?
Want something else?
Just tell me I’m not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I?
I don’t seem obvious do I?

(Fill in your own aiaiaiais!!!)

(It should all be right.)

Saw them perform this on live. Form the title and the line that says,"I'm not scared anymore..." it seems to be not afraid of authority, but I have no clue what it actually means.

whoa i said that wrong. it seems like it should say "i got no secret purpose" instead of "i got no single purose" a few times in there. but that's just from what i've heard from listening to the song, altho most of j.e.w.'s songs you can't really tell some of the lyrics from just listening so maybe i'm wrong.
