Song title: Ani Difranco - What If No One's Watching

Edit By: 216.73.217.165

If my life were a movie
There would be a sunset
And the camera would pan away
But the sky is just a little sister
Tagging along behind the buildings
Trying to imitate their grey
The little boys are breaking bottles
Along the sidewalk
The big boys, too
The girls are hanging out at the candy store
Pumping quarters into the phone
cause they dont want to go home

And I think,
What if no ones watching
What it when were dead, were just dead
What if its just us down here
What if God aint looking down
What if hes looking up instead

If my life were a movie
I would light a cigarette
And the smoke would curl around my face
Everything I do would be interesting
Id play the good guy
In every scene
But I always feel I have to
Take a stand
And theres always someone on hand
To hate me for standing there
I always feel I have to open my mouth
And every time I do
I offend someone
Somewhere

But what
What if no ones watching
What if when were dead, were just dead
What if theres no time to lose
What if theres things we gotta do
Things that need to be said

You know I cant apologize
For everything I know
I mean you dont have to agree with me
But once you get me going
You better just let me go
We have to be able to criticize
What we love
Say what we have to say
cause if youre not trying to make something better
As far as I can tell
Youre just in the way

I mean what
What if no ones watching
What if when were dead
Were just dead
What if its just us down here
What if God is just an idea
Someone put in your head

I mean what
What if no ones watching
What if no ones watching...
