What If No One's Watching

And the camera would pan away
Trying to imitate their grey
I mean, I always feel I have to open my mouth
What if when we're dead, we are just dead?

I mean what, what if no one's watching?
I mean what, what if no one's watching?
I mean you don't have to agree with me
But the sky is just a little sister
What if no one's watching?
What if there's things we gotta do
What if no one's watching?

And the smoke would curl around my face
Against the sidewalk, the big boys, too
Say what we have to say
And the little boys are breaking bottles
Oh, if my life were a movie, I would light a cigarette
Hmm, you know I can't apologize for everything I know

What if when we're dead, we are just dead?
As far as I can tell, you're just in the way
I mean what, what if God ain't looking down?
Things that need to be said?
What if he's lookin' up instead?
But I always feel I have to take a stand
I'd play the good guy in every scene
Hmm, if my life were a movie, there would be a sunset
What if no one's watching, what if no one's watching?
'Cause they don't wanna go home
What if when we're dead, we are just dead?
And every time I do, I offend someone, somewhere

I mean what if it's just us down here?

Pumping quarters into the phone
What if god is just an idea someone put in your head?
Trying to imitate their gray
But the sky is just a little sister
'Cause if you're not trying to make something better
But once you get me going

The girls are hanging out at the candy store

I mean we, we have to be able to criticize what we love
Tagging along behind the buildings
And there's always someone on hand
But what, what if no one's watching?

You better just let me go

And everything I do would be interesting
I mean what, what if there's no time to lose?
I mean what, what if no one's watching?
Tagging along behind the buildings

And I think, what, what if no one's watching?
To hate me for standing there
