Jeremy Messersmith - The New York Times Crossword Puzzle (Live) Lyrics

I don't care don't give a damn
For sponsorships or brand collabs
But let me say without a doubt
This is the sound of selling out
You don't want to know
How far I'd go
How low I'd stoop
If you only knew
The pandering I'm prepared to do
Cause I have seen my name in shining lights
But I wish it was in black and white
For the world to see immortalized
As a crossword clue in The New York Times
Yes I know my name's too long
I never had a big hit song
And it's a long shot and I'm not proud but
This is the sound of selling out
You don't want to know
How far I'd go
How low I'd stoop
If you only knew
The pandering I'm prepared to do
Cause I have seen my name in shining lights
But I wish it was in black and white
For the world to see immortalized
As a crossword clue in The New York Times
I swear if I ever see my name
Hinted at on that page
I will bask in validation
The black hole inside me will finally close
And I shall ascend to my heavenly home
Knowing all the pain was worth it
It was worth it
Cause I have seen my name in shining lights
But I wish it was in black and white
For the world to see immortalized
As a crossword clue in The New York Times
I have seen my name in shining lights
But I wish it was in black and white
If I could sneak my way in just one time
As a crossword clue in The New York Times
As a crossword clue in The New York Times
As a crossword clue in The New York Times
