Ani Difranco - What If No One's Watching Lyrics
If my life were a movieThere would be a sunsetAnd the camera would pan awayBut the sky is just a little sisterTagging along behind the buildingsTrying to imitate their greyThe little boys are breaking bottlesAlong the sidewalkThe big boys, tooThe girls are hanging out at the candy storePumping quarters into the phonecause they dont want to go homeAnd I think,What if no ones watchingWhat it when were dead, were just deadWhat if its just us down hereWhat if God aint looking downWhat if hes looking up insteadIf my life were a movieI would light a cigaretteAnd the smoke would curl around my faceEverything I do would be interestingId play the good guyIn every sceneBut I always feel I have toTake a standAnd theres always someone on handTo hate me for standing thereI always feel I have to open my mouthAnd every time I doI offend someoneSomewhereBut whatWhat if no ones watchingWhat if when were dead, were just deadWhat if theres no time to loseWhat if theres things we gotta doThings that need to be saidYou know I cant apologizeFor everything I knowI mean you dont have to agree with meBut once you get me goingYou better just let me goWe have to be able to criticizeWhat we loveSay what we have to saycause if youre not trying to make something betterAs far as I can tellYoure just in the wayI mean whatWhat if no ones watchingWhat if when were deadWere just deadWhat if its just us down hereWhat if God is just an ideaSomeone put in your headI mean whatWhat if no ones watchingWhat if no ones watching...
