Rest Of The World

(album: Albatross - 2012)

Well there's this man of the world
Who gets all the girls
And does what he wants to
I was in his employ
Since I was a boy
It was the orders that I outgrew

The only thing I have to figure out
Is how can I take everything
And cut him out

Give me the rest of the world
All the pretty girls
And I should take doubles of everything
Find the one down below
Who knows it's all a show
Cause that's the only one thing
Bringing me down

Ask me how do I sleep
The skeletons I keep
It's easier than you'll know
What became of the man I replaced
Some may know his face
Kicking through the dirt and snow

There's one thing that haunts me
To this day
Just before I put him out
I heard him say

Give me the rest of the world
The diamonds and the pearls
I think I need doubles of everything
Find the one down below
Who knows it's all a show
Cause that's the only one thing
Bringing me down

A lone ambition
With a side of greed
At the expense
Of a friend in need

Give me the rest of the world
All the pretty girls
And I should take doubles of everything
Find the one down below
Who knows it's all a show
Cause that's the only one thing
Bringing me down

Give me the rest [3x]
Doubles of everything
Give me the rest [3x]
