We could’ve been anything  
that we wanted to be  
with all the talent we had  
No doubt about it  
we fight and we tout it  
we’re the very best at being bad guys

Broken glass, everywhere, people pissing on the stairs  
you know they just don’t care.  
I can’t take the smell, I can’t take the noise  
Got no money to move on, I guess I got no choice

The best things in life are free  
but you can give them to the birds and bees  
I want money.

I’ve got so much honey the bees envy me.  
I’ve got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.  
I guess you’d say  
What can make me feel this way?  
My girl (my girl, my girl)  
Talkin’ 'bout my girl (my girl).

Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees  
and the flowers and the trees  
and the moon up above,  
and a thing called love

I bruise you, you bruise me.  
We both bruise too easily,  
Too easily to let it show.  
I love you and that’s all I know.

If I could save time in a bottle

Just to spend them with you

And as the windshield melts  
And my tears evaporate  
Leaving only charcoal to defend  
Finally I understand the feelings of the few  
Ashes and diamonds, foe and friend  
We were all equal in the end
