Emily Haines - The View lyrics

I know your ways, so when I tell you, "Don't get crazy"

"But the last wall standing fell, daddy kicked it down"

"Your little sister's gonna have a baby"

I heard you're planning to drive into the desert

Hope you find a gypsy queen there

To make your body feel a little better

I heard some talk around the table

Heard someone say your name

They talk like you were a superstar

They know you for what you are

Do you really think it's wise to try

To push the sun back down before it rises?

I know you're used to winning

When are you going to choose the prizes?

Oh-ha-ha

You must get tired of standing on the outside

Watching the show, tired of all the useless conversation

You know how the boys like their little ladies

They like 'em silent

Dead, dead quiet

Even though I know you don't believe in dreams

Don't even like to close your eyes

The other night there was a shot outside

You screamed in your sleep

You said "Help me, I'm still breathing"

"Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus, isn't this enough?"

It's been a long time you've been standing in line

Just like they taught you

Waiting for the view, you learned in school you were entitled to
