Cornstarch

Lyrics for Cornstarch

Tried to warn 'em, but in the end, go ahead, I'll take the blame Somebody's gotta do it and to me it's all the same Tried to warn 'em, but in the end, go ahead, I'll take the blame Somebody's gotta do it and to me it's all the same Brave words, I wanna be there when they turn Corn starch in the baggie like, when will you learn? Don't get aggy, c'mon man, we all just got burned Woman at me like, mommy and daddy, behavior is learned Dramatic reenactment went badly for all those concerned As a child, broke in the neighbor's house Searchin' for what, I don't know Wasn't rich, wasn't hurtin', I didn't do it for the dough Seen 'em pull up, through the curtain and slipped out the back door Lost my temper, moms looked just like she seen a ghost When he got out, gave him the money We both pretended it was a loan Down the road, seen him lookin' bummy outside the liquor store Hurried past like I ain't know him, somethin' caught in my throat Tried to warn 'em, but in the end, go ahead, I'll take the blame Somebody's gotta do it and to me it's all the same Oh no, that's terrible He's not hurting anyone Neither are we Oh God. Every time I see one of those old guys I... Every time I see one of those old guys I always think the same thing What do you think? I always think that he was once somebody's baby boy. No, really, I do, I think he was once somebody's baby boy and he had a mother and Father who loved him and now, there he is, half dead on a park bench
