Ted Leo and The Pharmacists - Me And Mia lyrics

As I was walking through a life one morning The sun was out, the air was warming oh, whoaeo, I was cold And though I must have looked a half a person Tell the tale in my own version It was ohwhoaeonly then that I felt whole Do you believe in something beautiful that could never be it's fighting for the smallest goal to get a little self control I know how hard you try I see it in your eyes call your friends cause we've forgotten what it's like to eat what's rotten what's eating you alive might help you to survive we were honest, we were on a mission the latest in a grand tradition but oh, whoaeo, what did we find? It was ego who was flying the banner me and mia, anne and anna oh, whoaeo, we'd been unkind Do you believe in something beautiful that could never be it's fighting for the smallest goal to get a little self control I see it in your eyes I see it in your spine call your friends cause we've forgotten what it's like to eat what's rotten what's eating you alive might help you to survive even the nights they could get better and even the days ain't all that bad but after a week of fighting more and more it seems the right thing Do you believe in something beautiful that could never be it's fighting for the smallest goal to get a little self control Won't anybody here Just let you disappear? Now doctors know your mom and dad but but me and mia, anne and anna know how hard you try don't you see it in my eyes? Sick to d**h of my dependence finding food to fight transcendence fighting to survive more dead but more alive cigarettes and speed for living sleeping pills to feel forgiven all that you can try and all that you've deprived One more bourgeois social lecture telling you you've got to change your heavenly idea hell never seemed so clear but don't forget what it really means to hunger strike when you don't really need to some are dying for a cause but that don't make it yours even the nights they could get better
