War On Drugs Lyrics - Everything To Everyone - Barenaked Ladies

She likes to sleep with the radio on 

So she can dream of her favorite song 

The one that no one has ever sung since she was small 

She'll never know that she made it up 

She had a soul and we ate it up 

Thrown away like a paper cup 

The music falls 

The only flaw in her detailed plan 

Is where she wins back the love of her man 

Everyone knows that he's never coming back 

He took her heart and she took his name 

He couldn't stand taking all the blame 

He left her only with guilt and shame and then she cracked 

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves 

Of all these demons haunting us 

To keep us company

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

In the dream I refuse to have 

She falls asleep in a lukewarm bath 

We're left to deal with the aftermath again 

On behalf of humanity 

I will fight for your sanity 

How profound such profanity can be 

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves 

Of all these demons haunting us 

To keep us company 

Won't it be odd to be happy like we 

Always thought we're supposed to feel 

But never seem to be 

Near where I live there's a viaduct 

Where people jump when they're out of luck 

Raining down on the cars and trucks below 

They've put a net there to catch their fall 

Like it'll stop anyone at all 

What they don't know is when nature calls, you go 

Photos 

They say that Jesus and mental health 

Are just for those who can help themselves 

But what good is that when you live in hell on earth? 

From the very fear that makes you want to die 

Is just the same as what keeps you alive 

It's way more trouble than some suicide is worth 

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves 

Of all these demons haunting us 

To keep us company 

Won't it be odd to be happy like we 

Always thought we're supposed to feel 

But never seem to be 

Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs 

My hands were tied and the phone was bugged 

Another died and the world just shrugged it off
