11. Blow Myself Up

If I was him
I’d blow myself up
If I was him I’d die
If I was him
I’d blow myself up
If I was him I’d cry
If I was him
I’d blow myself up
If I was him I’d cry
If I was him
I’d blow myself up
If I was him I’d die

Look at all them crazy people
Taking him to heart
Acting like he’s God or something
Stabbing in the dark

If I was him
I’d blow myself up
If I was him I’d cry
If I was him
I’d blow myself up
If I was him I’d die

Took my trees and
Took my sugar
And I drink it all away
Oh that bastard’ll bite the bullet
He will have to pay

If I was him
I’d blow myself up
If I was him I’d die
If I was him
I’d blow myself up
If I was him I’d cry…
