Everclear – White Men In Black Suits lyrics

Album: So Much For The Afterglow

i am just a boy
working in a record store
yes i moved to san francisco
just to see what i could be

i am a loser geek
crazy with an evil streak
yes i do believe
there is a
violent thing
inside of me

she is just a girl
she is doing what she can
she dances topless
when she's not playing in her band

such a pretty girl
happy in an ugly place
watching all the pretty people
doing lots of ugly things

i think it's getting better for the two of us
yes i think it's getting better
almost everyday
i could give a damn for what those people say

all i want to do
is lose myself in your room
all you want is just
a slowfuck in the afternoon

i still see those scary guys
when i am all alone at night
i kiss the ring you gave me
then i swing with all my might

i think it's getting better for the two of us
i think it's getting better for you and me to agree
that the white men in the black suits
they are diminishing
yes i think they are diminishing
yes i think that they diminish you
and they diminish me
i think they are diminishing
you know sometimes i hear those people say. . .

yeah she takes a bus
over to the northside of the city
she goes to work
stripping for the
rich white men

and the words they give her
make her feel so soft and pretty
she wears them
but they never ever seem to fit

yes i think it's getting better for the two of us
yes i think it's getting better in the worst way
i refuse to be afraid of almost anyone
afraid of all the things they do
or the words that they say

let's live the way we want to live
and hope they go away

i really hope they go away
i really hope they find a nice place
i hope they find it somewhere
i hope they go away

i can hear those people say. . .
