Don't play the tortured
artist with me
Or you can pack up
all your bags
and then leave
Yeah you know
what I'm saying
And I'm praying for you
to take heed
It's like your mother
was drunk all the time
And your brother turned to
life of crime
Yeah you fear
he's lost direction
You fear he's finally
lost his way

on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look out at all the boys
and the girls

artist with me
Cuz it's not all about you
and what about me
You can save
your breath son
Cuz I never said
that I was gonna
leave you
It's like your father
he never came home
And your sister
spent her life
on the phone
And all the other kids
used to give you shit
all the time
Just look out
on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look out at all the boys
and the girls
Look out

And look out to the world
Look out at all the boys

for treasure
Or maybe I'll ski
the world
Or maybe I'll just gonna
live in the hills
Or maybe I'll find
my pleasure
With some far off
eastern girl
Or maybe I'll still be
living in the hills
