What If No One's Watching

Mmm, if my life were a movie
 There would be a sunset and the camera would pan away
 But the sky is just a little sister
 Tagging along behind the buildings, trying to imitate their grey
 The little boys are breaking bottles against the sidewalk
 The big boys, too
 The girls are hanging out at the candy store
 Pumping quarters into the phone
 'Cause they don't want to go home
 And I think, "What, what if no one's watching?
 What if when we're dead, we are just dead?
 I mean what, what if god ain't looking down?
 What if he's looking up instead?"
 Oh, if my life were a movie
 I would light a cigarette and the smoke would curl around my face
 And everything I do would be interesting
 I'd play the good guy in every scene
 But I always feel I have to take a stand
 And there's always someone on hand
 To hate me for standing there
 I mean, I always feel I have to open my mouth
 And every time I do I offend someone, somewhere
 But what, what if no one's watching?
 What if when we're dead, we are just dead?
 I mean what, what if there's no time to lose?
 What if there's things we gotta do?
 Things that need to be said
 ♪
 Mmm, you know I can't apologize for everything I know
 I mean, you don't have to agree with me
 But once you get me going you'd better just let me go
 I mean we, we have to be able to criticize what we love
 Say what we have to say
 Oh 'cause if you're not trying to make something better
 Then as far as I can tell, you are just in the way
 I mean what, what if no one's watching?
 What if when we're dead we are just dead?
 I mean what, what if it's just us down here?
 What if god is just an idea someone put in your head?
 I mean what, what if no one's watching?
 What if no one's watching?
 I mean what, what if no one's watching?
 What if no one's watching?
 Ooh, if my life were a movie
 There would be a sunset and the camera would pan away
 But the sky is just a little sister
 Tagging along behind the buildings, trying to imitate their grey
 What if no one's watching?
 What if no one's watching?
 What if no one's watching?
 What if no one's watching?
