Lyrics
I have a stinger
I am a honeybee
I am a razor
please cut your wrists with me
You’re supercommon
you flaunt your pedigree
You’re clear as water
I’m already spinning in my grave
I am the subject of your documentary.
You have a question?
I am the third degree
I am authentic
I’m authenticity
I’m no such thing
I’m already spinning in my grave
I’m already spitting on your grave
Quotes
Sean: Still bummed about "Authenticity": we all thought it would be a good single, I miss the long intro, LOVE Grant-Lee Phillips's harmonies, regret not adding horns, still a gem live.10A
Evan: Here's the thing: "Authenticity" should have been on the radio, and that's that.10A
