Lyrics to Cherub Rock:
Freak out, and give in,
Doesn't matter what you believe in
Stay cool, and be somebody's fool this year
Cause they know who is righteous, what is bold
Don't stare
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey
Hipsters unite,
Come align for the big fight to rock for you
But beware all those angels with their wings glued on
Cause deep down, we are frightened and we are scared if you
Don't stare
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey
Let me out
Let, let me out
Let, let me out
Let, let me out
Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe this is true
Tell me all of your secrets
I know I know I know, should have listened when I was told
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey
Let me out
Let, let me out
Let, let me out
Let, let me out
