PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - Blank Baby lyrics
You might say someone else said it<br />
Some worse some better then I<br />
You might see someone taking pictures<br />
They can't put them back and I'll tell you why?<br />
<br />
'Cause even when originals are dead<br />
Something still put that idea in your head<br />
<br />
You might hear someone else singing<br />
This very same song<br />
I can't slap on nasty handcuffs<br />
Or scold like a lawyer screaming wrong, wrong, wrong<br />
<br />
'Cause even when the copyrights are fixed<br />
A genuine thief has got a bottomless bag of tricks<br />
<br />
I was born a blank baby and the world's here to fill my head<br />
I'm still a blank baby but the world would rather see me dead<br />
I was born a blank baby and the world's here to fill my head<br />
I'm still a blank baby but the world would rather see me dead<br />
<br />
You might see a painting in a studio<br />
Might test the paint to find it's wet<br />
Start scraping down as deep as you can go<br />
Until it's just as blank as it can get<br />
<br />
'Cause even when the paint is dry<br />
You can just erase it all by rolling back your eyes<br />
<br />
I was born a blank baby and the world is here to fill my head<br />
I'm still a blank baby but the world would rather see me dead<br />
I was born a blank baby and the world is here to fill my head<br />
I'm still a blank baby but the world would rather see me dead<br />
Rather see me dead, see me dead<br />
<br />
You might hear someone else singing<br />
This very same song<br />
I can't slap on nasty handcuffs<br />
Or scold like a teacher screaming wrong, wrong, wrong<br />
<br />
'Cause all the originals are dead<br />
<br />
I was born a blank baby and the world is here to fill my head<br />
I'm still a blank baby but the world would rather see me dead<br />
I was born a blank baby and the world is here to fill my head<br />
I'm still a blank baby but the world would rather see me dead<br />
<br />
Rather see me dead, see me dead<br />
You'd rather see me dead, rather see me dead<br />
You'd rather see me dead<br />
You'd rather see me dead<br /><br />
