SelfDefense — текст песни (Paul Westerberg)

Cheekbones and hormones

Your only self-defense

Lying through dinner

And your rock and roll teeth again

Youve harbored a coward

Fed him full of broth

This nocturnal sadness

Leave you pale as this tablecloth

Careful dont you spill your dinner

That would be a good defense

Then you wouldnt have to sit here

On the fence



Cheekbones and hormones

Hes the accidental man

Tell you in a stage whisper

About the boy who cried benefit

As the poet drags the darkness

Within him to the light

Its only in self-defense

That they drag you out into the night

Careful dont you spill your dinner

That would be your best defense

Careful what you wish for



An idiot and a genius

Standing up to dine

Breaking manmade laws

Cause I only follow those that are divine

And only when youre chased

Do you ever run fast

And its wrong to commit a suicide

Its only in self-defense
