Sam Johnson - West Side Story lyrics

[Verse 1] Tried to get the audience out from inside my head And the things you say are beautiful, but they don't make very much sense From the day that I was born, they took me for all that I had And I let them ‘Cause they let me in I'm so weak, I can barely hold this instrument [Chorus] I wanna do whatever you wanna do I wanna make fun of cops with you [Verse 2] You went on tour and I went on medication I've been stuck in this waiting room and they're telling me to stay patient So, I'll close my eyes and I'll sing this song for you Celebrate with a joint or two And a new backyard tattoo And think of the time that we spent watching X-Files in your living room [Chorus] I wanna do whatever you wanna do I wanna find every truth with you [Verse 3] And it all comes down to the knowledge that we're gonna die Find comfort in that or be scared for the rest of your life So, I sing and I scream and I strum and I try to help out 'Til I can build a little house That the government doesn't know about But I'd rather be right here than anywhere else, right now [Chorus] I wanna do whatever you wanna do I wanna watch the empire fall with you [Bridge] And it's f**ing with me that you didn't see That it wasn't them and it was always me who knew too much And I'm no storyteller the way you are I'm just an angry kid who got given a guitar But how dare you say that I'm too young To know that the ticket prices are going up And the trains still aren't on time And the thugs that patrol the lines are the reason I'll never pay my fines And prescription prices are going up And we're not making any more money Tony's wallet's getting heavy Gene, your stomach is far from empty And it's too many in my mind And now I'm living on the west side You say “Breathe it in, breathe it out” You don't know what you're talking about And it's eating away at my insides And now I'm living on the west side And my mother says I've gotten thin [Outro] Don't wanna see you for a couple of years But yours is a funeral I'd fly to from anywhere
