Mercy of the Rain

Everybody wants to spin their story

Everybody wants a pretty face

Everybody wants this year's model

Everybody wants to take your place

Everybody wants to be my baby

Everybody wants a place in the sun

"I really need to find a good job..."

Everybody wants to get fucked up

You might think you're better than me

Born into your destiny

You might think you're where it's at

So what?

You're at the mercy of the rain

Tried everything before I was thirteen

I'm on every drug except for caffeine

Got my gadgets and my velvet rope

Changing hands and blowing smoke

You might think you're better than me

Born into your destiny

You might think you're where it's at

So what?

You're at the mercy of the rain

Everybody wants to hold your hand

Everybody wants a diamond ring

Everybody wants to live forever

Everybody wants the same damn thing

You might think you're better than me

Living in the lap of luxury

You might think you're a radical

So what?

You might say you're innocent

Waste your time and your money's spend

You could run for president

So what?

You're at the mercy of the rain

I said hey

In the end you're with the rest of us

Hey, still at the mercy of the rain

I said hey

In the end you're just a speck of dust

In my eyes
