cornstarch Songtext
von billy woods

Tried to warn ′em, but in the end, go ahead, I'll take the blame
Somebody′s gotta do it and to me, it's all the same
Tried to warn 'em, but in the end, go ahead, I′ll take the blame
Somebody′s gotta do it and to me, it's all the same

Brave words, I wanna be there when they turn
Corn starch in the baggie like, when will you learn?
Don′t get aggy, c'mon man, we all just got burned
Woman at me like, mommy and daddy, behavior is learned

Dramatic reenactment went badly for all those concerned
As a child, broke in the neighbor′s house
Searchin' for what? I don′t know
Wasn't rich, wasn't hurtin′, I didn′t do it for the dough
Seen 'em pull up, through the curtain and slipped out the back door


Lost my temper, moms looked just like she seen a ghost
When he got out, gave him the money
We both pretended it was a loan
Down the road, seen him lookin′ bummy outside the liquor store
Hurried past like I ain't know him, somethin′ caught in my throat

Tried to warn 'em, but in the end, go ahead, I′ll take the blame
Somebody's gotta do it and to me, it's all the same

Oh no, that′s terrible
He′s not hurting anyone
Neither are we
Oh God, every time I see one of those old guys, I-

Every time I see one of those old guys, I always think the same thing
What did you think?
I always think that he was once somebody's baby boy, no, really, I do
I think he was once somebody′s baby boy, and he had a mother and a-
Father who loved him and now, there he is, half dead on a park bench
