Mansun - THE DRIFTERS lyrics

You never heard this one from me

I wanted to belong to what I fear

And we're supposed to laugh it off

We're very limited in honesty

A sense of belonging just for once in my life

I thought you were God and elvis rolled into one

This is my life it's all I have

Repeat after me we're drifting

Repeat after me we're drifting

'cos we know

My life is still my own

There's no connection to my past

And if it's hurting me, it's teaching me

You took your pill today for sure

You're desperate for your friends to like you more

When kennedy spoke you'd hear america sigh

The poor seeking solace in their God that's above

We scream and we fight, it's all we have

If I were a girl and you were born as a boy

I'd know I'm still here when someone's hurting me badly

Failure's beautiful to me
