King Garbage - Piper

I'm on the back porch flyin a Texas banner
starin starlight speakin that country grammar
while the front page argue nothin but the chatter
nobody ask me what you think about the matters
nobody ask me what we doin in the shadows
well pardon me

I believe we could do one more better than the game that's already been won
tomorrow sleepin with one eye open 'cause of deals that are already done

I say somebody pay the piper
and they tip him alright
it might just be the lightnin that I'm sippin
but I agree that I'm right
somebody pay the piper
count that money but twice
cause you know its true
no turnin hands hands of time back no no
no more turnin out lights
nobody asked me nothin
rats

pardon me
loose laws and trouble may find you
(nobody ask me nothin)
antiquated pay no mind to
(well pardon me)
may truer lines help guide you
(nobody ask me nothin)
and unopened doors invite you
(well pardon me)

tin soldiers shimmer silent
world will turn or tire itself out
yeah yeah yeah...

I'm on the back porch with my friends takin chances
'til some polite words start wrestlin answers
cures will come and go till the sun advances
nobody asked me what you think about the matters
nobody asked me, you think you could do it better
well pardon me

I believe we could do one more better than a game that's already been won
tomorrow sleepin with one eye open 'cause of deals that are already done

I say somebody pay the piper
and they tip him alright
it might just be the lightnin that I'm sippin
but I agree that I'm right
somebody pay the piper
count that money but twice
cause you know its true
no turnin hands hands of time back no no
no more turnin out lights
nobody asked me nothin
rats

what do I know
nobody ask me nothin
I was bout to say nothin
what do I know
nobody asked me nothin
