Selfless, Cold and Composed - Live at Bowery Ballroom, New York, NY - December 2001
[Verse 1]
I
Said what you wanted to hear
And what I
Wanted to say
So I will take it back
And all the dishes intact
Let them be
Broken
Broken
[Chorus]
It's easy to be
Easy and free
When it doesn't mean anything
You remain selfless, cold
And composed
[Verse 2]
You've done me no
Favor to call and be nice
Telling me I
Can take anything
I
Like
You don't owe me to be so polite
You've done no wrong
You've done no wrong
Get out of my sight
[Chorus]
It's easy to be
Easy and free
When it doesn't mean anything
You remain selfless, cold
And composed
[Bridge]
Come on baby, now throw me a right to the chin
Don't you stare like you never cared, I know you did
But you just smile
Like a bank teller
Blankly telling me, "Have a nice life."
[Bridge]
Come on baby, now throw me a right to the chin
Just one sign that'll show me that you give a shit
But you just smile
Politely
And I grow weaker and I
[Verse 4]
Said what you wanted to hear
And what I
Wanted to say
So I will take it back
[Chorus]
It's easy to be
Easy and free
When it doesn't mean anything
It doesn't mean anything
You can take anything
You can take anything
Na-na-na-na-na
You're so selfless, cold
You're so selfless, cold
You're so selfless, cold
And composed
[Spoken]
