Everyone Knows Their Own Place

from Bourbon on the Rocks by The Quixotes

/

lyrics

When you set your hair on fire
Cutting out the liars and the wired
Taking down every life inspired
It’s just so
Everyone knows their own place
Everyone knows their own place

If I had run
Would you have run any faster?
25-miles exclusion zone
Around your compassion
And everyone here,
Everyone knows their own place
Everyone knows their own place

How could you always turn away?
I’m asking nicely
Why you should stop and see
How the other half lives
You’re gonna to hurt somebody
If you want to hurt somebody
It might as well be me

Real beauty, well, it’s only skin-deep
Contain yourself boys
I know what you seek
And everyone,
Everyone knows their own place
Everyone knows their own place

Though we have feasted
From the toppest table
We’re on our knees
And we’ll scrounge the crumbs your floor
Everyone here,
Everyone knows their own place
Everyone knows their own place

How can you always turn away?
I’m asking nicely
Why you should stop and see
How the other half lives
You’re gonna to hurt somebody
If you want to hurt somebody
It might as well be me
It might as well be me

You might as well hurt me

Might as well hurt me
