Lyrics
If I could sprout another fist,
I’d raise it.
Another foot?
Probably kick your face in.
Another mind?
I would drown or misplace it.
Another heart?
Eat it just for the taste of it.
If I could be anyone but me?
A 4-star general in World War III
With a lawn chair parked
on my favorite beach
And a magnet to hold up
my college degrees.
There’s no right or wrong when
we’re all just misunderstood.
No one’s ever gotten it,
cause no one ever could.
We can all look pretty bad when
we’re all just dying to feel good,
So we’ll do whatever we need,
not what we think they think we should.
If I could grow the perfect hair,
I’d shave it.
Another butt?
I would constantly shake it.
Another face?
I would stuff it with pastries,
then throw a fit
if the dough wasn’t grain-free.
If I could be anywhere but here?
Hanging in Hoovervilles
under the pier,
Doubting the day walkers
living in fear,
And spinning The Record
in every ear.
There’s no right or wrong when
we’re all just misunderstood.
No one’s ever gotten it,
cause no one ever could.
We can all look pretty bad when
we’re all just dying to feel good,
So we’ll do whatever we need,
not what we think they think we should.
If I could buy another breath,
I’d take it.
Another life?
I’d refuse to pay for it.
A new brain?
Lock it up in the basement,
starve it for weeks just to
see if it makes it.
If I could build a better place
where the things I hate
are wiped off the face,
I’d paint it half-black and
the other half chroma-key green.
Cause your life’s an illusion
your eyes project on to the screen.
