Your mama's got nothing on me
00:02
Your daddy's got nothing on me
00:05
And the world that sleeps in it's lunacy
00:08
It's got nothing on me
00:12
No stars got nothing on me
00:15
Your sun's got nothing on me
00:19
And the fool who sees it's the thief that needs
00:22
Has got nothing on me
00:27
You know it's not because the light here gets brighter
00:30
And it's not that I'm evil
00:38
I got a friend in the devil
00:41
But I can't even be your friend
00:45
I can't even be your friend
00:50
I can't even be your friend
00:54
00:59
I can get so wound up
01:25
But I feel alright
01:29
And if I get some rest
01:31
Yeah, that'd be nice
01:32
When I shouldn't do it, I still do it
01:34
What you think's got nothing to do with this
01:36
Before you were born, I was already sinning
01:42
Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:49
When I get too worked up
01:53
Well I work it out
01:54
And if I get too down
01:56
I just shout it out
01:58
I bet I have it all, but the rest will do
01:59
And it's nothing against all I do with you
02:02
Before you were born, I was already sinning
02:08
It's not because the light here is brighter
02:12
And it's not that I'm evil, I just don't like to pretend
02:18
That I could ever be your friend
02:23
If you don't listen so good
02:41
I can hum it out
02:46
Na na na na na na na na
02:48
I know I shouldn't do it, I just do it
02:50
And what ya think's got nothing to do with it
02:54
Before you were born, I was already sinning
02:59
It's not because the light here is brighter
03:04
And it's not that I'm evil
03:09
I just don't like to pretend
03:12
That I could ever be your friend
03:14
I could never be your friend
03:17
I never needed a friend
03:21
I don't wanna be friends
03:24
You'll never find a friend like me
03:26
03:29
