pete bernhard - orphan lyrics

called up a friend the other day
just to see what kinda words he’d say
said ‘i just met a man down here, his girlfriend don’t like you’
said ‘well, gimmie a number and her address and i’ll sincerely do my best to avoid her the next time i’m passin’ through’
i’ve never been much for followin’ rules
i always go out and act a fool
and somethin’ bad would happen by and by
can’t say i’m always proud of myself
but i don’t wish i was somebody else
in fact, i’d rather be me than you

but a lot of people don’t like me
not my music, i mean personally
they wanna tell how to act and what to say
would you rather be an orphan or a slave?
would you rather be an orphan or a slave?

went to a party in the middle of the night
i was fallin’ up the stairs and that’s alright
i pictured the whole place in flames and it made me smile
wonder why i thought these terrible things
and the voice in my head heard the telephone ring
picked up and said ‘we’d been wondering for a while’
all these people gather round
my heart goes backwards, my head drops down
i hear my voice say things i told it not to
don’t know who it’s directed at
or why i chose to say something like that
and now what’d i truly plan to do
but a lot of people don’t like me
not my music, i mean personally
they wanna tell how to act and what to say
would you rather be an orphan or a slave?
would you rather be an orphan or a slave?

and sometimes i was under the gun
and when i was i tended to run
it was important, but it wasn’t worth dyin’ for
someone said ‘he who fights and runs awake and avoids gettin’ k!lled another day’
so i’ve made a point of every window and every door
walked into walls, slept in the dirt
i’ve been punched in the face and i admit that it hurt
and i had enemies that i called my friends
it doesn’t matter if i get low down
i’m the one riddin’, i’m the hero right now
and all i gotta do is use my imagination

but a lot of people don’t like me
not my music, i mean personally
they wanna tell how to act and what to say
would you rather be an orphan or a slave?
would you rather be an orphan or a slave?
would you rather be an orphan or a slave?
