Brainwascht Lyrics
Jump to:
(1, 2, 3)

If you wanna write a letter, write a letter
If you'd rather make a phone call, pick up the phone up...
and call me
But if you had to say it all with a pop song,
couldn't you at least have written me a good one?

She's brainwashed you, brainwashed you, brainwashed you, brainwashed you too. (repeat)


Was it just a simple rewind and erase?
Was your mind squeaky clean in the first place?

If you've gotta write an essay, do your research
Stick your nose in a boy and girl fight, hear both sides first
There's something wrong being copied in a memo
in the form of a big ugly demo

She's brainwashed you, brainwashed you, brainwashed you, brainwashed you too (repeat)

Is there a funnel from her mind to your mouth now?
'Cuz you don't edit anything, it just comes out.

I gotta say it's pretty gay trading jabs in pop song
So maybe next time, you should just have a dance off.
A dance off

I think there's something in the Bible about forgiveness and love.
And more importantly about those stones and what your house is made of.
You might reflect upon your own arrangement.
94 gettin' blown in your basement.

She's brainwashed you, brainwashed you, brainwashed you, brainwashed you too. (repeat)

She's brainwashed you (integrity)
She's brainwashed you (family)
She's b-b-brainwashed you (online rhyming dictionary)

Uuuuhhh...

Brainwascht Info:

• In a Rolling Stone magazine interview, Ben said this song 'is actually a response to someone I know writing an extremely judgmental and mean song about me. I wrote this song back suggesting we have a dance-off.' It is rumored that the song is 'Wrong' by Fleming & John due to biblical references in 'Brainwascht'

• The song is written by Benjamin Scott Folds.

• According to the Dorlands Medical Dictionary 'Brainwashing consists of any effort aimed at instilling certain attitudes and beliefs in a person — beliefs sometimes unwelcome or in conflict with the person's prior beliefs and knowledge.'
