Save It Til The Mourning After Lyrics - Singles - Shut Up And Dance

Say it first 

For me now. 

Say it first 

For me now. For me now. 

A teenage marvel, all of sixteen 

Had great dreams of bein' a beauty queen. 

Well now she's part of the system. 

Y'see her parents tried but she just wouldn't listen. 

Dropped out of school, 

Fifteen years old and she acted the fool. 

She thought life was a dream, 

When her friends called her club she just holds her head and screams. 

But it's too late 

Life wasn't great but she just couldn't wait to be mature 

And explore. The father of the child clean walked out the door. 

Didn't wanna know. 

Came home one day packed his things and had to go. 

Makes you sit and wonder how. 

Just say a prayer for me now. 

Don't save your breath for me now (Say it first) 

Save it til the morning after (For me now) 

No no, don't save your breath for me now (Say it first) 

Save it til the morning after (For me now) 

White old man who you see on the streets 

With a bottle to his lips every week. 

He didn't always be that way 

But look how his life's gon' changed. 

He used to be someone 

Now everyone thinks he's a bum and the kids just run. 

Plus they like to tease, they thrash their knees 

And say his clothes has fleas. 

People all over are dyin'. 

Politicians keep on lyin'. 

They gotta spend my money on war 

Yet we can't feed the poor. 

I wish my lips on a yacht, 

I poured my lips on the doorway of a shop. 

But don't ask me how, just say a prayer for me now. 

Don't save your breath for me now (Say it first) 

Save it til the morning after, no no. (For me now) 

Save your breath for me now (Say it first) 

Save it til the morning after (For me now) 

Don't save your breath for me now (Say it first) 

Save it til the morning after, no no. (For me now) 

Save your breath for me now (Say it first) 

Save it til the morning after (For me now) 

I see things through adult eyes 

But when I was young I wasn't quite so wise. 

A lot of things would pass me by 

But now when I see these things I ask why 

Is the world this way? Why are kids on my streets scared to go out and play? 

Why do old folks shar across the street whenever I walk by? 

If the wheeling for dealing for stealing 

And the temptation's is appealing? 

But I know what a change soon come 

With the risin' of the sun. 

Don't save your breath for me now (Say it first) 

Save it til the morning after, no no. (For me now) 

Save your breath for me now (Say it first) 

Save it til the morning after (For me now) 

Don't save your breath for me now (Say it first) 

Save it til the morning after, no no. (For me now) 

Save your breath for me now (Say it first) 

Save it til the morning after (For me now)
