《One Off Pretender》歌词

[00:00:01] One Off Pretender - The View

[00:00:26] Living on them pills lying in squalor

[00:00:27] That's the life of the late night bar crawler

[00:00:30] Most outrageous man I met he once said

[00:00:31] "I could take a belly full of lead and wouldn't wind up dead

[00:00:34] He wants his song to make you shiver a little

[00:00:36] Like there's a ghost coming your way

[00:00:38] Have you ever been told that something's forever

[00:00:41] And had your heart broken the very next day

[00:00:43] Shout it from the rooftop

[00:00:46] You can shout it from the rooftop

[00:00:51] But you can't tell it to the paper

[00:00:56] They've already been paid

[00:01:03] To be ten different people that's easy

[00:01:04] It's easier than being yourself

[00:01:05] I'm the one off pretender I'm not happy

[00:01:08] Picking life off the shelf

[00:01:10] He taught me time wasted

[00:01:12] Is time spent well

[00:01:14] The a mans dead if he doesn't have a story to tell

[00:01:19] Dead if he's lying in a dirty jail cell

[00:01:22] Coz when your down they'll kick you

[00:01:23] The jury doesn't matter at all

[00:01:24] The jury doesn't matter at all

[00:01:28] Tell me officer when your baton kissed me

[00:01:32] Did it make you feel tall

[00:01:35] And no one asked you where you come from

[00:02:05] No one told you of these times

[00:02:11] And no one asked you where you come from

[00:02:14] No one told you of these times

[00:02:18] This is your life don't waste it

[00:02:26] Why don't you run away

[00:02:29] A man to reckon with he knows how to persuade

[00:02:34] Says you won't get a sun tan in this government shade

[00:02:36] Does it make you quiver a little the way they say

[00:02:39] We're gonna f**k you

[00:02:42] Take a little bit of freedom away every day

[00:02:44] You can shout it from the rooftops

[00:02:48] You can shout it from the rooftops

[00:02:52] You can shout it from the rooftops

[00:02:59] But you can't tell it to the paper they've already been paid
