lyrics

White

Keep it real, keep it fancy
Keep it rich; buy all the clothes
We don’t have enough thread to mend these troubles at hand

Be someone, be someone of wealth
Be someone, be someone of stature
Be someone, be someone of greed
Be someone, be someone in reach

Our heels are worn down to the bones
Our bodies flail like skipping stones
We don’t have enough thread to mend these troubles at hand

Be someone, be somebody’s woman
Be someone, be someone tonight

And won’t be afraid to say they’re wrong
Won’t be ashamed, won’t play along

Now gone, all the lakes we saw when we were ten years old
Now gone, all but drained into the earth
Now gone, marshes and ponds along the coasts
Now gone, all but drained into the earth
