Boy

Smoke your sandwiches and eat your cigarettes Drink, drink to remember and run, run to forget Cos the more you go swimming the more you get wet Kiss all your friends and fight, fight your lovers Keep your own secrets and just, just share each others Cos you're a sinner to god but you're a saint to your brothers Answer the quiz but don't answer, don't answer the phone Name all of your demons when you feel most alone I can't build you a house but I can build you a home Burn your blessings and count, count your bridges Nobody ever told you that your soul is not a business So just take the medicine, don't you know it's good for your sickness Throw out your shoes they don't fit you anymore Boy, call your father, he's not what he was before And be kindest to that little one sitting with you on your bedroom floor Cos we all become a casualty when your heart goes to war
