Guilty Cocker Spaniels
Lyricist:Isaac Brock, Jeremiah Martyn Green, Eric Scott Judy, Johnny Marr, Thomas Peloso, Joseph Plummer
Well, I took off runnin' at the greatest speed I didn't bother lookin' to either side of me Well, I didn't see, I just didn't see What was really goin' on
The truth had stopped and the skyline rose Exchangin' comfort for more fashionable clothes I'd left the hills at this point in time To run on treadmills in a perfect line
Salad days add up to daily shit Sparked imagination till the sparks just quit And if this is fun, why am I so bored with it? Well, I'll probably never know
Guilty cocker spaniels eatin' table scraps Well, we rolled over, how our masters clapped It felt so good, we wanted more than that But when the program failed they defensively laughed
Sayin', 'We did things just how you asked Don't try takin' us to task You didn't bite a face, no just a mask So happy Halloween'
I drew a blank, we put it in a frame Wait, what, you're winning? You didn't say this was a game Well, I guess I'll just have to play and play Until I'm out of cash
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Before I could spit it out I guess the words had burnt my mouth What can I say? There's the thought I laid it down So you could take it out of context either way
We said all along we deserve every bit And mostly we knew that the supply would quit But we got goin' and goin' just away with it Until everybody lost their mind
Directly behind me and ahead of the time But don't you worry, it'll fall right in line Yep, everythin' just might fly by No one's gettin' blamed this time
Blame me, so blameless Can we find a way to blame our way out? Well, I postdated the eulogy For every blameless body, nah nah
We are blamelessly teethin' On much more than we need, nah nah nah Blamelessly teethin'
Well, we're all gettin' blamed While everyone, everyone knew Well, everybody, everybody knew Well, everybody, everybody knew Well, everybody, everybody knew Well, everybody, everybody knew everything
