ETC lyrics: "Salesman"

Thanks to our friends Rose and Gellie, switchFeed brings you the first installment in the 16-part exclusive series of ETC (Jon and Tim's highschool band) lyrics... enjoy!

What are you selling and what does it cost?
What does it do for the loser who lost?
Do you believe in it?
Why do you smile, have you been trying
to sell it to me all the while?
When you go into your room late at night
And you turn to the window
The stars are bright lights, lights

Are you looking for something to sell?
Looking for someone to sell it to?
Are you looking for something to sell, Mr. Salesman?

When you were younger did you know the truth?
Did you know all along what you wanted to do,
All of the reason for all that we buy
or is society boring you and I?
When you go into your room late at night
And you turn to the window
The stars are bright lights, lights

Are you looking for something to sell?
Looking for someone to sell it to? (above 2 lines x3)
Are you looking for something to sell, Mr. Salesman?
Are you looking for something to sell?
Looking for someone to sell it to (above 2 lines x3)
Are you looking for something to sell, Mr. Salesman?

NOTE: (a) We don't mind you putting these up on your own site, as long as you don't forget to credit/link to switchFeed. :) (b) These lyrics aren't official, but transcribed by us as best as we could.

I have a question:
Where did you get the music?
I can't find it anywhere.

I got it sent to me at the promise that I wouldn't share it with anyone.

There's no point trying to look for it on the internet, you won't find it. If I had the guys' permission, I'd share it here, but I don't.

Well.. with that said, could you at least tell us if it's any good? :]
Instrumentally, of course. The lyrics speak for themselves.

haha. instrumentally, the album is pretty awesome... however, the vocals are still getting there (Tim's backround vocals are horribly funny)

i didnt know tim ever sounded bad! hes always pretty steady and usually sounds good. maybe his voice hadnt changed yet. haha!
who else is in the band? there are other people right?
i wonder if the guys will let it out, now that they're independent. that'd be really cool. phil, you should ask them for us.

Does "I'll Be There" any relation to "Don't Be There"?
