Elliott Smith - Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands lyrics
[Elliott Smith - Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands lyrics]
Everybody cares, everybody understands
Yes everybody cares about you
Yeah, and whether or not you want them to
It's a chemical embrace that kicks
You in the head to a pure synthetic sympathy
That infuriates you totally
And a quiet lie that makes you
Want to scream and shout
So here I lay dreaming
Looking at the brilliant sun
Raining it's guiding light upon everyone
For a moment's rest you can
Lean against the banister
After running upstairs again and again
From wherever they came to fix you in, but
Always fair city's finest follow right behind
You've got a pretty vision in your head
A pencil full of poison lead
And a sickened smile illegal in every town
So here I lay dreaming
Looking at the brilliant sun
Raining it's guiding light upon everyone
Here I lay dreaming
Looking at the brilliant sun
Raining it's guiding light upon everyone
You say you mean well
You don't know what you mean
Fucking oughta stay the hell away from
Things you know nothing about
Yes everybody cares about you
Yeah, and whether or not you want them to
It's a chemical embrace that kicks
You in the head to a pure synthetic sympathy
That infuriates you totally
And a quiet lie that makes you
Want to scream and shout
So here I lay dreaming
Looking at the brilliant sun
Raining it's guiding light upon everyone
For a moment's rest you can
Lean against the banister
After running upstairs again and again
From wherever they came to fix you in, but
Always fair city's finest follow right behind
You've got a pretty vision in your head
A pencil full of poison lead
And a sickened smile illegal in every town
So here I lay dreaming
Looking at the brilliant sun
Raining it's guiding light upon everyone
Here I lay dreaming
Looking at the brilliant sun
Raining it's guiding light upon everyone
You say you mean well
You don't know what you mean
Fucking oughta stay the hell away from
Things you know nothing about
