What Do You Say Lyrics

Yeah!
Yeah!

Do you really care?
It's not like it matters anyway
What's going to happen here?
We'll laugh about it all one day

Hey! Hey! What Do You Say?
It doesn't really matter 'cause it's all the same
Hey! Hey! What do you say?
They're just gonna blame us anyway

Hey! Hey! What do you say?
It doesn't really matter 'cause it's all the same
Hey! Hey! What do you say?
They're just gonna blame us anyway

Oh! Oh! Oh! Yeah!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

When everything goes down
It's all going to seem like a waste of time
Nothing is so special
'Cause they're just chemicals in our minds

(Hey! Hey! What do you say?)

Hey! Hey! What do you say?
It doesn't really matter 'cause it's all the same
Hey! Hey! What do you say?
They're just gonna blame us anyway

Hey! Hey! What do you say?
It doesn't really matter 'cause it's all the same
Hey! Hey! What do you say?
They're just gonna blame us anyway

Oh! Yeah! Oh! Oh! What do you say!
Oh! Yeah! Oh! Oh! What do you say!

Tonight these favorite memories
We get together while it last sleep with fire
You've got to mean it
You've got to see it
How can we never leave when we look straight in their eyes

Hey! Hey! What do you say?
Hey! Hey! What do you say?
Hey! Hey! What do you say? Yeah!

Hey! Hey! What do you say?
It doesn't really matter 'cause it's all the same
Hey! Hey! What do you say?
They're just gonna blame us anyway

Hey! Hey! What do you say?
It doesn't really matter 'cause it's all the same
Hey! Hey! What do you say?
They're just gonna blame us anyway

Oh! Yeah! Oh! Oh! What do you say!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Yeah! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! What do you say!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Yeah! Oh!

What Do You Say

The first single from Filter's sixth album The Sun Comes Out Tonight, this song was written by their frontman Richard Patrick along with guitarist Jon Radtke and producer Bob Marlette. In our interview with Richard Patrick , he explained that they had been listening to the British Rock band Kasabian, which was an influence on the track. "They had kind of a cool groove, so we were inspired by that and picked up on that groove, and started writing around that," he said. "Then we put it into Filter chords, which is always way down by the third, fourth fret. You know, the third, sixth, and seventh fret. All that darkness all around in there."

The lyrical hook on this song - "Hey, hey, what do you say?" - is a common expression said in a variety of situations, similar to "Hey Man Nice Shot," a phrase that became Filter's biggest hit.

"I was thinking, 'Hey, hey, what do you say?' It really doesn't matter anyway, and everyone bitches and nothing gets done," Patrick told us. "Everybody spent a ton of money getting Obama into office, all the poor people, and as soon as he gets in, five guys from the Tea Party stop everything and now we can't even get the government doing anything. Everybody's screaming and yelling all at the same time and no one's listening. Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. No one's taking the time to actually sit there and listen. They're just out there making money. Rush does it for the money. Bill O'Reilly said he loves the money, he doesn't really care about what he's saying, as long as he makes money."

Patrick says that this song is "A take on this constant noise level in society." The lyrics came from conversations he had with Jon Radtke and Bob Marlette about global warming, and how powerless they feel as politicians refuse to take action. "The point is: what do you say, it doesn't really matter anyways," said Patrick. "When everything goes down, it's not going to matter. What's going to happen here, we'll laugh about it all one day. When it all goes down, the only thing that you'll be able to do is laugh about it and just throw your hands up."

Surprise Lyrics

Dark sunrise from the night on the run
I’ve gone blind from the sight of the sun
A heart full of truth ‘cause I paid my dues
A head full of noise and something to lose

But she
Talks me down from the edge
And she
Talks me down from the ledge

[Chorus]
Surprise, surprise for you
No lies, just eyes for you
Teach me all that you know
So that I will bask in your glow

A light shoots out with a beam so bright
Your angels dance for your delight
You’ve got nothing at all but you hold on tight
It’s a dangerous world but you live life right

And she
Is the world to me
And she
Is the world to me

[Chorus]

And she
Is the world to me
And she
Is the world to me

Yeeeeeah Woooooh

[Chorus]

Surprise

This was released as the second single from The Sun Comes Out Tonight. Speaking to In the Now Magazine , frontman Richard Patrick stated the song "is, like, a no-brainer." He added: "It should be a nice, successful song for us. I don't mean to get cocky, but it really is one of those songs that we wrote that, you feel like you were just watching it happen, even though you were writing the lyrics and stuff and you were playing the guitar. It's just one of those songs that just kind of…. It just kind of wrote itself."

When Richard Patrick spoke to us about the song, he recalled: "When I did 'Surprise' on this new record, I'm like, 'That's golden. That's the s--t. That's going to speak to people.'"

The song's music video was directed by Gus Black, who has previously worked with Deftones and Eels.
