West Side Story Lyrics - Camp Cope

Tried to get the audience out from inside my head 

And the things you say are beautiful but they don't make very much sense 

From the day that I was born they took me for all that I had 

And I let them 

Coz they let me in 

I'm so weak I can barely hold this instrument 

I wanna do whatever you wanna do 

I wanna make fun of cops with you 

You went on tour and I went on medication 

I've been stuck in this waiting room and they're telling me to stay patient 

So I'll close my eyes and I'll sing this song for you 

Celebrate with a joint or two 

And a new backyard tattoo 

And think of the time that we spent watching X-Files in your living room 

I wanna do whatever you wanna do 

I wanna find every truth with you 

And it all comes down to the knowledge that we're gonna die 

Find comfort in that or be scared for the rest of your life 

So I sing and I scream and I strum and I try to help out 

Till I can build a little house 

That the government doesn't know about 

I'd rather be right here than anywhere else right now 

I wanna do whatever you wanna do 

I wanna watch the Empire fall with you 

As fucking with me as you did 

See, it wasn't them and it was always me who knew too much 

I'm no storyteller the way you are, 

I'm some angry kid at a guitar 

But how dare you say that I'm too young 

To know that the ticket prices are going up 

And the trains still aren't on time 

And the thugs that patrol the lines are the reason I never pay my fines 

And prescription prices are going up 

And we're not making any more money 

Tony's wallet's getting heavy, and your stomach isn't far from empty 

Too many in my mind 

Are now living on the west side 

Breathe it in 

Breathe it out 

You don't know what you're talking about 

And it's eating away at my insides 

Now living on the west side 

My mother says I've gotten thin 

Don't wanna see you for a couple of years 

But yours is a funeral I'd fly to from anywhere
