Lyrics
This song would be better if my life were more screwed up
If I'd done a few more drugs If I'd run away from home
But now what your hearing here is just a piece of fluff
Another stupid song
If I had heard a bit more Morrisey
If I had worn a bit more black
If I had done a bit more heroine
Would this have been a better track
This song would be better if my brother had died young
If this song was never sung would you be bobbing your head
If I were so sensitive that I could not get by
I'd be famous, I'd be dead
If my dad was a priest or a therapist
I could have been a Kurt Cobain
If Mom gave me more sugar cereal
And covered it with cocaine CHORUS:
My parents got along, they taught me right from wrong
How can any rock and roll result from that?
If life were more unfair, I'd be a millionaire. CHORUS:
