PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - Blank Baby lyrics

rate me

You might say someone else said it<br />

Some worse some better then I<br />

You might see someone taking pictures<br />

They can't put them back and I'll tell you why?<br />

<br />

'Cause even when originals are dead<br />

Something still put that idea in your head<br />

<br />

You might hear someone else singing<br />

This very same song<br />

I can't slap on nasty handcuffs<br />

Or scold like a lawyer screaming wrong, wrong, wrong<br />

<br />

'Cause even when the copyrights are fixed<br />

A genuine thief has got a bottomless bag of tricks<br />

<br />

I was born a blank baby and the world's here to fill my head<br />

I'm still a blank baby but the world would rather see me dead<br />

I was born a blank baby and the world's here to fill my head<br />

I'm still a blank baby but the world would rather see me dead<br />

<br />

You might see a painting in a studio<br />

Might test the paint to find it's wet<br />

Start scraping down as deep as you can go<br />

Until it's just as blank as it can get<br />

<br />

'Cause even when the paint is dry<br />

You can just erase it all by rolling back your eyes<br />

<br />

I was born a blank baby and the world is here to fill my head<br />

I'm still a blank baby but the world would rather see me dead<br />

I was born a blank baby and the world is here to fill my head<br />

I'm still a blank baby but the world would rather see me dead<br />

Rather see me dead, see me dead<br />

<br />

You might hear someone else singing<br />

This very same song<br />

I can't slap on nasty handcuffs<br />

Or scold like a teacher screaming wrong, wrong, wrong<br />

<br />

'Cause all the originals are dead<br />

<br />

I was born a blank baby and the world is here to fill my head<br />

I'm still a blank baby but the world would rather see me dead<br />

I was born a blank baby and the world is here to fill my head<br />

I'm still a blank baby but the world would rather see me dead<br />

<br />

Rather see me dead, see me dead<br />

You'd rather see me dead, rather see me dead<br />

You'd rather see me dead<br />

You'd rather see me dead<br /><br />
