Structure + Lyrics  
 
Intro  
 
Verse  
 
It?s how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.  
Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song."  
 
Pre-Chorus  
 
Honesty or mystery?  
Tell me I?m not scared anymore.  
I got no secret purpose, I don?t seem obvious do I?  
 
Chorus  
 
I don?t seem obvious do I?  
 
Verse  
 
The DJ never has it, J A M C Automatic.  
If those were Roy's headphones, you bet he'd play "What Goes On".  
 
Pre-Chorus  
 
Honesty or mystery?  
Tell me I?m not scared anymore.  
I got no secret purpose, I don?t seem obvious do I?  
 
Chorus  
 
I don?t seem obvious do I?  
 
Bridge  
 
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.  
 
Verse  
 
It?s how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.  
Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song".  
 
Pre-Chorus  
 
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?  
 
Chorus  
 
I don?t seem obvious do I?  
 
Ending
