Structure + Lyrics Intro Verse It's how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows. Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song." Pre-Chorus Honesty or mystery? Tell me I'm not scared anymore. I got no secret purpose, I don't seem obvious, do I? Chorus I don't seem obvious, do I? Verse The DJ never has it, J A M C Automatic. If those were Roy's headphones, you bet he'd play "What Goes On". Pre-Chorus Honesty or mystery? Tell me I'm not scared anymore. I got no secret purpose, I don't seem obvious, do I? Chorus I don't seem obvious, do I?

Chorus I don't seem obvious, do I? Ending
