One Off Pretender
(专辑: Which Bitch? - 2009)
Living on them pills lying in squalor, That's the
life of the
late night bar crawler Most outrageous man I
met he once said, "I could take a
belly full of lead and wouldn't wind up dead." He wants his song to make you shiver a
little like there's a
ghost coming your way Have you ever been told that something's forever, and had your heart broken the
very next day. Shout it from the
rooftop You can shout it from the
rooftop But you can't tell it to the
paper, they've already been paid To be ten different people that's easy, it's easier than being yourself I'm the
one off pretender I'm not happy, picking life off the
shelf He taught me, time wasted, is time spent well The
mans dead if he doesn't have a
story to tell Dead if he's lying in a
dirty jail cell Coz when your down they'll kick you, the
jury doesn't matter at all The
jury doesn't matter at all Tell me officer when your baton kissed me, did it make you feel tall? And no one asked you where you come from, No one told you of these times, And no one asked you where you come from, No one told you of these times. This is your life don't waste it, Why don't you run away? A
man to reckon with he knows how to persuade, Says you won't get a
sun tan in this government shade, Does it make you quiver a
little, the
way they say, "We're gonna fuck you ,
take a
little bit of freedom away every day. You can shout it from the
rooftops You can shout it from the
rooftops You can shout it from the
rooftops But you can't tell it to the
paper, they've already been paid.
