Dross

LyricsInformation

you say I'm beautiful
well I can't help it
you say I'm empty
we all know I'm full of shit

get out, get out
you've lost control
get out, get out
you're growing cold
can anyone
anyone be true
does anyone
anyone want to be you

you say I'm tragic
I say it's magic kid
you say I'm lucky
we all know what's in your cards

get out, get out
get out, get out
you've lost control
can anyone
anyone be true
does anyone
anyone want to be you
do they want to be you
[bring it down]

floating
knocked out, sky high, floating
flat out, deadly truth
does anyone want to be you
can anyone
anyone be true
does anyone
anyone want to be you
do they want to be you


[Alternate lyrics]

you say I'm beautiful
well I can't help it
you say I'm empty
we all know I'm full of shit
get out get out
you've lost control
get out get lost
you're growing old
can anyone
anyone be true
does anyone
anyone want to be you
you say I'm tragic
I say it's magic, kid
you say I lucky
we know what's in the cards
get out get out
you've lost control
you're growing old
can anyone
anyone be true
does anyone
anyone want to be you
some will let you eat their razor blades
let you wave a flag in their parade
dress you up for their own charade
america the beautiful
when they put you on the shelf
lying dead next to someone else
can anyone
anyone be true
does anyone
anyone want to be you
love you
I just want to love you
(?) to be true
does anyone want to be you
