Someone Else (JZ, MH, NV)
You tell me Jesus and the weather man made it rain on your parade
And everyone but you in the world of black and blue was born in the cool, cool shade
Someone else is paying your rent. Someone else elected your president
But you’d never sit and hear the two cents of someone else
And since your mother never held you quite right you stick a needle in your arm
If living is a series of artificial highs, at least in one way you can feel in charge
Someone else has got it good. Someone else is living the life you should
Oh blame your whole god-damned neighborhood that you just aren’t someone else
Your father wasn’t a millionaire so what are you supposed to do?
And you’re content to sit and bitch until the good life comes to you
Someone else has burst your bubble. Someone else has made your empire crumble
But building your own was too much trouble so you leave it for someone else
When control is always outside success shall ever be denied.
Do NOT depend on someone else; you see the Lord helps he who helps himself
Someone else, it’s someone else!
