lyrics

Everybody wants to be a democrat
Until they make a little money
And then they come to their senses I still remember
Rocking it when I was younger than today
Yeah, so much younger than today

Now I’m not a hassle I’m a benefit
To the society that bleeds me
Please don’t leave me dry
Cos I got mouths to hide

So what would you do if you weren’t afraid?
Of anyone or anything
Cos I just crossed that line
Yeah what would you do if you weren't afraid?
Cos I know I’ll get mine

I watched you from the distance and i’m terrified
Of all the feelings that you’ve lost me
So when we come to my senses i’ll still remember
Telling you that everything would always be your way
Before the black and white turned to grey

So now we’re not a hassel, were a benefit
To the society that bleeds us
Please don’t leave us dry
Cos we’ve got mouths to hide

So what would you do if you weren’t afraid?
Of anyone or anything
Cos I just crossed that line
Yeah what would you do if you weren't afraid?
Cos I know I’ll get mine

Yeah what would you do if you weren’t afraid?
Of anyone or anything
Cos I just crossed that line
Yeah what would you do if you weren't afraid?
Cos I know I’ll get mine
