Lyrics Rehab – Bones

If I could be somebody else
Lie for me, I can’t tell who it would be, I can’t think of who it would be
If all I ever wanted was to be myself
Lately they say that’s what’s killin’ me

I’ve wined and dined with kings and queens
Sat in cold alleys eatin’ pork and beans
I’ve reached for the stars, yeah I’ve chased that dream
Ran with the scar, with the scabs and schemes
What can I say one with an adventure, rough spirit
Since I can remember had a needle hidin’ behind my sternum
I’d take it in the bathroom beside me
Old folks lookin’ thinkin’ is he stupid? He might be

That boy he marchin’ to the beat of a different tuba
I do believe that may be true but every time I do
Ima do it while y’all sit talkin’ that manure

If I could be somebody else
Lie for me, I can’t tell who it would be, I can’t think of who it would be
If all I ever wanted was to be myself
Lately they say that’s what’s killin’ me
Say goodbye and when I’m gone and make a home made drum and beat it with my bones
Say goodbye and when I’m gone and make a home made drum and beat it with my bones

No good, drop low, go get em’ tiger, that a boy
Necessary, I’m a fighter till I’m in the cemetery
Written and forgotten, go for broke and still get dope
Still standin’ arms crossed, you know the pose
Cameras zoomin’ in till it stops at my nose… snot

Gonna change, I’m a dirty little booger, I’m in the liquor and filthy looker
I’m gonna nook em’ in a crowd full of cougars with nostrils like hoovers

If I could be somebody else
Lie for me, I can’t tell who it would be, I can’t think of who it would be
If all I ever wanted was to be myself
Lately they say that’s what’s killin’ me
Say goodbye and when I’m gone and make a home made drum and beat it with my bones
Say goodbye and when I’m gone and make a home made drum and beat it with my bones
