lyrics

If I Were You

If I were you I’d watch my mouth
(If I were you I’d watch my mouth)
I live in a room in my father’s house
I’m still just a kid in my father’s house

If I were real I’d quit my job
Do real men up and quit their jobs?
I’m only a breath in my mother’s lungs
My friend, he’s pissed, cause I broke my tongue

No one ever really talks about it
Everyone just kind of walks around it

If I were you I’d watch my mouth
(If I were you I’d watch my mouth)
I live in a room in my father’s house
I’m still just a kid in my father’s house

No one ever really talks about it
Everyone just kind of walks around it
My generation is fighting for no-one
Left with the loss from a laugh of a decade

When will you see? When will you see?
When will you see where I’m coming from?
All that we need is to know that we bleed
We are but a small family and have not the blood to waste

No one ever really talks about it
Everyone just kind of walks around it
My generation is fighting for nothing
Left with the loss from a laugh of a decade
