Lyrics

If I make a lot of tinsel then people will want to
If I am hardened no fear of further abandonment
If I am famous then maybe I'll feel good in this skin and
If I am cultured my words will somehow garner respect and
Oh well I would throw a party still
It would not come
Oh well I would bike, run, swim and still
It would not come
Oh well I'd go traveling and still
It would not come
Oh well I would starve myself and still
It would not come
If I am masculine I will be taken more seriously
If I take a break it would make me irresponsible
If I'm elusive I will surely be sought after often
If I need assistance then I must be incapable
Oh well I'd be filthy rich and still
It would not come
Oh well I would seduce them and still
It would not come
Oh well I would drink vodka and still
It would not come
Oh well I'd have an orgasm... still
It wouldn't come
If I accumulate knowledge
I'll be impenetrable
If I am aloof no one will know
When they strike a nerve
If I keep my mouth shut the boat
Will not have to be rock-ed
If I am vulnerable I will be
Trampled upon and..
Oh well I would go shopping and still
It would not come
Oh well I'd leave the country and still
It would not come
Oh well I would scream and rebel still
It would not come
Oh well I would stuff my face and still
It would not come

Oh well I'd be productive and still it would not come
Oh well I'd be celebrated still it would not come
Oh well I'd the the hero and still it would not come
Oh well I'd renunciate and still it would not come
