If I Was Santa Claus Lyrics - Lucy Ford - Atmosphere

[Slug] 

If I was a rich man 

I'd buy you some shoes 

Tall boots for all the dirt you walk through 

What would that do? 

Enable you to deal 

Without schooling you on how to touch what's real 

And if I was a smart man 

I'd tell you everything that I knew 

And give it to you every time you need a talking to 

But what would that do? 

Teach you my guidelines 

So you can be a cheerleader at your game on the sidelines 

And if I was a driver 

I'd keep my headlights on 

To see the difference between right and wrong 

I'd wear my seatbelt even when I'm in park 

Cause I don't trust the other fools that cruise through these parts 

And if I was a better cook 

I'd hook up a feast 

Set a table full of food for the children to eat 

I encourage the nourishment so we can breathe 

With the knowledge that we got something accomplished

Chorus: 

And if I was Santa Claus, I'd fight for the cause 

Wouldn't expect nothing in return 

I'd give you everything you want, I'd be everything you need 

So you can take my hand and I can take the lead 

And if I was an honest man 

I would stop writing songs 

I'd break for a nervous breakdown for breakfast 

Tell everyone I knew to stay away from making music 

It ain't nothing but a confusing mess (confusing mess) 

And if I was you, I wouldn't hear a word I said 

Wouldn't trust nothing to start it up inside my head 

I'd make a conscious effort to live instead 

Of trying to kill the monsters that reside underneath the bed 

And if I was a hurt man 

I'd find a way to put my faith 

Into a woman that could take me from today 

Maybe 

I need somebody that could save me 

From the parts of myself that keep making me crazy 

And if I was a wise man 

I'd climb to the top of the mountain peak 

To think about strength versus weakness 

I'd find a point that rests a couple of feet above your head 

And figure out how I could try to help you reach it 

(Ho ho ho) 

And if I did have a choice 

I'd never want to live forever 

Just let me have a voice so I can make my points 

I can't imagine running a race with no finish line 

Just let me keep my pace and make to most of my time 

I love giving but I'm bad at receiving 

The truth is, I'd prefer to be the one bleeding 

But I'm a paranoid that stays between play and work 

Cautious and aware, 'cause I'm afraid of being hurt 

Which brings me to the issue 

And that would be this: 

How often must I ask myself why I exist? 

I feel like a freak, this world is a circus 

Just trying to find myself as well as my purpose

Chorus: 

And if I was Santa Claus, I'd fight for the cause 

Wouldn't expect nothing in return 

I'd give you everything you want, I'd be everything you need 

And you can take my hand and I can take the lead (2x) 

I got nothing but gifts 

Keep it up in my wits 

Got me drunk on the fifth 

And now we're stuck in a ditch 

And as dumb as it gets 

I'mma run you some fibs (?) 

I wanna touch your lips 

I wanna rub your hips 

Put a glove on the fist 

For the love that exists 

We'll keep bumping the hits 

To get my bucket of chips 

From the Bloods and the Crips 

To the skateboarding chicks 

Put the Atmosphere on your Christmas wishlist (2x) 

(Ho ho ho ho)
