"Spoiled" lyrics

"Spoiled"

Gamblin' with the sun
On which one of us dies young
I ain't afraid to hold the gun
If it leads me to the safe
Tell the fellas at the morgue
That I'm headed back on tour
Gonna put them boys to work
Wipe your hands and wash your face

I'm fillin' every pause
I'm speaking when I know, something
It's anything I want
It's anything I want

Just so my children get spoiled, when they get old
So they can fuck up all they want, and blame it all on their dad
So they can watch me go to work, fall asleep on the couch
They'll say I wanna be you, but I don't wanna be that
They'll say I wanna be you, but I don't wanna be that

Yes I'm betting on the north
To drag my ass back down to Earth
'Cause where I'm from and what I'm worth have gotten too damn intertwined

If I'm gone this time next year
If I inhaled the smoke and smashed the mirrors
Fuck it! I might even disappear, I hope you've had a decent time

I'm fillin' every pause
I'm speaking when I know, something
It's anything I want
It's anything I want

Just so my children get spoiled, when they get old
So they can fuck up all they want, and blame it all on their dad
So they can watch me go to work, fall asleep on the couch
They'll say I wanna be you, but I don't wanna be that
They'll say I wanna be you, but I don't wanna be that

Gon' be rich
In our own way
I swear you're gonna get it, kid
Someday
Someday
Someday

I'm fillin' every pause
I'm speaking when I know, something
It's anything I want
It's anything I want
