Geoff Berner - We All Gotta Be A Prostitute Sometimes lyrics

A lot people think that I'm a lousy no-good ba*tard They sensitive enough to realize Just how bad I needed that money - yeah I don't want to go into it - just want to emphasize That I don't feel bad that I did it No I don't feel bad that I did it I don't have to cringe when the dinner bell chimes Because we all gotta be a prostitute sometimes We all gotta be a prostitute sometimes I know that last verse probably didn't convince you not to judge me so I just want to let you know When you come round with a tear stained face and scuffed up knees I'm not a gloating man and so... I wont make you feel bad that you did it No I wont make you feel bad that you did it You can give me your shame - I'll put it with mine Because we all gotta be a prostitute sometime We all gotta be a prostitute sometimes I know a lot of you out there think I'm making a general statement about humanity Well nothing could be further from the truth I'm speaking to each and every one of you individually When I said, You're no better than a bunch of who*es. And you're still in denial! There's a psychological phenomenon at work there Which I will elucidate in the bridge... Don't you know that the twenty dollar who*es Look down their noses at The ten dollar who*es Look down their noses at The five dollar who*es Who look down on the volunteers Cause they ain't got careers... A great man once said You gotta serve somebody He didn't mention sometimes you gotta service them too But after a while I hope you get used to it You could always pretend it's performance art And then you wont feel bad that you did it No you wont feel bad that you did it If you get scurvy just s** on a lime Because we all gotta be a prostitute sometimes We all gotta be a prostitute sometimes.
