Lyrics
The Nine To Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I never thought today would matter. I never acted like it
made a difference. One day I
looked, my plan had
shattered. And all the notes
I played were wrong,
discordant. Where will I go,
what will I do? Can I save
myself if I save you? Does it
matter anyway? If I leave
what will they say? I wonder,
does it matter anyway? Why
did I think I heard a
calling? What made me think
that i have something to
offer? If I trip will the
dominos start falling? Are
you really ready to give me
your sons and daughters?
Where will they go? What will
they be? Who will raise them,
you or MTV? Does it matter
anyway? When you're old, what
will they say? I wonder does
it matter anyway? Does it
matter anyway? Can you see
past today? Does it matter,
does it matter anyway?Will
you lead them on their way?
Where will they go, what will
they be? Who will raise them
you or MTV? When you're old,
what will they say? I wonder
does it matter anyway?
