the fear

Dont play the tortured artist with me
Or you can pack up all your bags and then leave
Yeah you know what im saying
Im praying for you to take heed

Its like your mother was drunk all the time
And your brother turned to a life of crime
Yeah you fear hes lost direction
You fear hes finally lost his way

But look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls
But look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls, Yeah

Dont play the tortured artist with me
'Cos its not all about you, and what about me
You can save your breath son
'Cos Inever said that iwas gonna leave you

It's like your father he never came home
And your sister spent her life on the phone
And all the other kids used to give you shit all the time

But look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls
But look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls

Maybe I dive for treasure
Maybe I steer the world
Or maybe I just gonna live in the hills
Maybe I found my pleasure
With some far off eastern girl
Or maybe i'll still be living in the hills

Dont play the tortured artist with me
Dont play the tortured artist with me
Its a fear of losing direction
Its a fear you've lost your way
Its a fear of losing face
And that someone can replace you
Its a fear of losing direction
Its a fear you've lost your way
Its a fear of losing face
And that someone can replace you

Look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls
Look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls

Just look out at the world

Look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls
Look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls
