One Off Pretender
Quelle: Spotify
Living on them pills, lying in squalor
That's the life of a late night bar crawler
The most outrageous man I've met, once said
"I could take a belly full of lead and wouldn't wind up dead"
He wants a 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 rooftops
You can shout it from the rooftops
But you can't tell it to the paper, they've already been paid
Being 10 different people, that's easy
It's easier than being yourself
I'm the one off pretender
I'm not happy, picking life of the shelf
He taught me, time wasted is time spent well
The man's dead if he doesn't have a story to tell
He's dead if he's lying in a dirty jail cell
'Cos when you're 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 all these times
And no one asked you where you come from
No one told you all 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
That "We're gonna fuck you"
Take a little bit of freedom away everyday
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---Lyrics submitted by Isis Barlow.
