Lyrics
Mother and child
I'm such a man for a short while
And promises be
The world just spins faster than me
(Come on, come on, come on)
And all of your friends, I hear are whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy
In beauty or beast
(Beauty or beast)
Who's my character to be
I'm now covering
(I'm now covering)
All the makeup that makes me
(Come on, come on, come on)
And all of your friends are now whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop sucking all my energy
And all of your friends are still whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy
You got it, you got it
Come on
And all of your friends are now whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop sucking all my energy
And all of your friends are still whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy
(Energy, energy, energy, energy, oh)
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy
(Energy, energy, energy, energy, oh)
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy
