Have you ever seen an idealist
With grey hairs on his head
Or successful men who keep in touch
With unsuccessful friends?
You only think you do
I could have sworn I saw it too
But as it turns out,
It was just a clever ad for cigarettes
Cause if it isn't making dollars
Then it isn't making sense
If you aren't moving units
Then you're not worth the expense
If you really want to make it
You had best remember this
If it isn't penetration
Then it isn't worth a kiss
We're so sorry, sir,
But you did not quite make the cut this time,
And we'd appriciate it if you'd cleared
Your stuff on out by five
Don't take it personal
Everyone knows you did your best
If it makes it easier,
You should look at things from our perspective
Cause if it isn't making dollars
Then it isn't making sense
If you aren't moving units
Then you're not worth the expense
If you really want to make it
You had best remember this
If it isn't penetration
Then it isn't worth a kiss

Pedro the Lion è stato un gruppo indie rock di Seattle, Washington, formato dal cantautore David Bazan nel 1995. Bazan rappresentava la principale forza creativa del gruppo, supportato da una rotazione di musicisti collaboratori. T. W. Walsh è considerato l'unico membro ufficiale della band oltre a Bazan. Nel 2006, Bazan e Walsh si sono separati in amicizia e Pedro the Lion si è sciolto quando Bazan ha intrapreso la carriera solista. Nel corso di 11 anni, il gruppo ha pubblicato quattro album in studio e cinque EP, diventando noto per i suoi testi in prima persona con temi politici e religiosi. Tra le canzoni più rappresentative ricordiamo "The Power of the Sun", "Yellow Birds" e "It's a Shame About Ray".
