Ripchord Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pull the ripcord
The ship has lost its sail
Your mama's got a new man
Your daddy always fails
And you're eating again at them
'Cause nobody loves you
[Verse 2]
And even fancy things
Have finally lost their charm
Wine and diamond rings
They never get you anymore
You're sleeping again, alone
'Cause nobody loves you
[Chorus]
And ooh ooh ooh
They should have seen you
Should have known you
Should've known what it was like to be you
[Verse 3]
So come on, kid, look at what you did
I don't know if you meant it
But you did yourself in
And I was even havin' a good day
When I'd found out we lost you
[Bridge]
So ahh ahh ahh
Oh oh oh and yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah oh oh
Ba-da-da, da-da da-da da
[Chorus]
And ooh ooh ooh
She said, "it was in the singing
And the strumming
Oh man, I even saw it coming"
