Businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
Then I guess I'll just begin again
You say can we still be friends
If I was scared I would
If I was bored you know that I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not
All the kids have always known
That the emperor wears no clothes
But we bow down to him all the same
'Cause it's better than being alone
If I was scared I would
And if I was pure you know that I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not
Now you're knocking at my door
Saying please come out with us tonight
But I would rather be alone
Than pretend I feel alright
If I was scared I would
If I was bored you know that I would
And if I was yours but I'm not
(Now I'm ready to start!)
If I was scared I would
If I was bored you know that I would
And if I was yours but I'm not
(Now I'm ready to start!)
