Built Up to This

Formed back when we were kids
No one ever knew about the significance
We'd play these instruments
Sold shirts and compact discs
It never made much cents

We'll grow to hate each other
Tear apart everything
That's built up to this
Write record one last album
Forget the loose ends
Let's never speak of this

Forget all of my friends
I'll never see you again
I'll be alone with my millions
We're cashing in on those times we hated
Back when no one would understand

Then the checks come in
And we start realizing that
This could be something
Offer the right money
Soon we'll be reforming
And heading right to the bank

Forget all of my friends
I'll never see you again
I'll be alone with my millions
We're cashing in on those times we hated
Back when no one would understand

I don't want to see you again
You want to see me again
We're going to have millions
You will regret the end

Just one more step to take
More money to be made
At an alarming rate
Play that reunion gig
All my effort exempt
Nobody notices

Forget all of my friends
I'll never see you again
I'll be alone with my millions
We're cashing in on those times we hated
Back when no one would understand

I'm going to buy happiness
With no thought to the past
Destroy all that we have
Ruin your love for the band we hated
You thought we didn't understand?
