49 Winchester - Veruca Salt
Well, I guess I stand corrected on the topic of despair
Well, I must've been mistaking it for the smell of your fresh air
I must've thought wrong when I said that you're holier
Than thou attitude was just quite rude
And you should come down off of your cloud
But you're too goddamn self-righteous for the righteous hand of God
You're the ultimate example of why not to spare the rod
It ain't your fault that you're like this, that's the thing that I've told myself
A million times with words that rhymed in songs of you and songs of hell
And it ain't no wonder this bridge was bound to burn and baby I don't understand
Quite what I did to earn such a cruel, cruel lovŠµr, oh, and I'm an honest man
Just playin' the hand I'm dealt 'cause the way that I felt
Baby it ain't no wonder
When you look into the mirror what is it that you see
Your forked tongue hides in your mouth, but you still look a lot like me
But there is one big distinct difference and that's another thing inside
That's a stone inside, inside your body baby for every time that you lied
And you were probably never faithful you were probably never true
I regret a lot of the things that I said, but I could see right through you
You are just so damn transparent, oh, and you are so damn vein
And it drives me up a great big wall that I can't say your name
And it ain't no wonder this bridge was bound to burn and baby I don't understand
Quite what I did to earn such a cruel, cruel lover, oh, and I'm an honest man
Just playin' the hand I'm dealt 'cause the way that I felt
Oh, baby, but it ain't no wonder
Well, I am no great example, oh I'm perfect by no means
I drink too much, and I laugh too loud till I'm burstin' at the seems
But I'm in no way on my high horse, oh now I'm kinda strapped for cash
But I make ends meet when I have to baby and I spend the rest on hash
But at least I am not tainted oh and rotten to the core
At least I did not stab your back at least I'm not a whole
Lotta trouble soaked in beauty, oh and cigarettes and smiles
Oh, at least I was the one that was willing to walk the extra mile
And it ain't no wonder this bridge was bound to burn and baby I don't understand
Quite what I did to earn such a cruel, cruel lover, oh, and I'm an honest man
Just playin' the hand I'm dealt 'cause the way that I felt
Oh baby, but it ain't no wonder
