What If No Ones Watching - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
If my life were a moviethere would be a sunsetand the camera would pan awaybut the sky is just a little sistertagging along behind the buildingstrying to imitate their greythe little boys are breaking bottlesalong the sidewalkthe big boys, toothe girls are hanging out at the candy storepumping quarters into the phone'cause they don't want to go homeand I think,what if no one's watchingwhat it when we're dead, we're just deadwhat if it's just us down herewhat if god ain't looking downwhat if he's looking up insteadif my life were a movie
I would light a cigaretteand the smoke would curl around my faceeverything I do would be interesting
I'd play the good guyin every scenebut I always feel I have totake a standand there's always someone on handto hate me for standing there
I always feel I have to open my mouthand every time I do
I offend someonesomewherebut whatwhat if no one's watchingwhat if when we're dead, we're just deadwhat if there's no time to losewhat if there's things we gotta dothings that need to be saidyou know I can't apologizefor everything I know
I mean you don't have to agree with mebut once you get me goingyou better just let me gowe have to be able to criticizewhat we lovesay what we have to say'cause if you're not trying to make something betteras far as I can tellyou're just in the way
I mean whatwhat if no one's watchingwhat if when we're deadwe're just deadwhat if it's just us down herewhat if god is just an ideasomeone put in your head
I mean whatwhat if no one's watchingwhat if no one's watching...
