What's Best For You?
from American Ethos album by American Ethos
lyrics
pin me right upon the cross
jurisprudence ain’t enough
I’m a villain and I’m a cop
and I’m a little loss
cause everyone knows
everyone knows what IS best for you
it is easy to pick and choose
what path to take when it isn’t you
so if you’re feeling blue
don’t worry, there is a pill for you
cause everyone knows
everyone knows what IS best for you
my little coffin wouldn’t fit
amongst the rows of eager kids
buried dreams at 6x6’
nothing worked, it never did
a little rough around the edge
feeling stressed and feigning death
kissing bottles at a cost
at least I’m lost among the lost
cause everyone knows
everyone knows what IS best for you
it is easy to pick and choose
what path to take when it isn’t you
so if you’re feeling blue
don’t worry, there is a pill for you
cause everyone knows
everyone knows what IS best for you
so…break into your mind
remind yourself that you are doing just fine
(yes) your friends all come and go
so take back what the middle man stole
and if you still talk to God
tell that old fuck that he forgot someone
…but please, call this ‘art’
and excuse me as I’m falling apart.
