lyrics

I have seen your future,
shuffling its way around this town
These women are so old and bitter
Carrying their bags and on their own.
Maybe they’d be more cheerful,
If they’d built their lives upon,
Something more substantial
Than the looks that left them long ago.

If the only thing you see
Worth loving yourself for
Is your face in the mirror
God help what you’ll become.

Maybe they all grew up
With drunks for dads and whores for mothers
Maybe they all went to college
To find the best man to lay down for
To find the best man to lay down for
Oh be the best man to lay down for.

If the only thing you see
Worth loving yourself for
Is your face in the mirror
God help what you’ll become.

And if the only thing you see
Worth living your life for
Is the man upon your arm
God help what you’ll become.
