Paul Westerberg - We May Be the Ones lyrics

I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know Was the garage your playground? Your pool a hose Did you piss in the alley? & Get your toes caught In the spokes of a bike with a banana seat Did you carry a knife that was rusted shut tight? You got drunk after church at 13 We may well be the ones To set this world on its ear We may well be the ones If not, then why are we here I wanna know, I wanna know The sweet smell of candles burnt low by young women Alone on their own for the very first time Under posters of rock stars that you vaguely resemble In front of a cat a responding "Perhaps" Means that you'll be the next one in line We may well be the ones To set this world on its ear We may well be the ones If not then why are we here Why the hell then are we here I wanna know, I wanna know You may well be the next one Someone sell me a handgun Goodbye Ma, I'm done for It's the law tell me what for I wanna know, I wanna know Smoke cigarette bu*ts From your brother's green helmet He wore in that war once Where everyone lost And they taught him to pour coffee and napalm And traded his storm for an intense calm That just won't let him be We may well be the ones To set this world on its ear We may well get it done Why the hell else are we here? We may well be the ones To set this world on its ear We may well be the ones If not then why are we here If not then why are we here We may well be the ones
