I Am Not Here Songtext
von Matt Hires

Sunshine velvet underground
You can′t keep a good man down
Things are getting better
Always getting better

Microwaves and IEDs
Happy meals and Halloween
Things are getting better
Always getting better
Things are getting better
Better late than never
Things are getting better
All the time

I am somebody's brother
Somebody′s son
I am somebody's only one
I am somebody's sucker
And somebody′s fear
I am somebody′s Shakespeare
But I am not here


Shopping malls and paradise
Just keep your eyes
Your eyes on the prize
Things are getting better
Always getting better

Sunsets on TV, home runs
Ex-girlfriends and kids with guns
Things are getting better
Always getting better
Things are getting better
Better late than never
Things are getting better
All the time

I am somebody's brother
Somebody′s son
I am somebody's only one
I am somebody′s sucker
And somebody's queer
I am somebody′s Shakespeare
But I am not here


I am somebody's brother
Somebody's son
I am somebody′s only one
I am somebody′s sucker
And somebody's fear
I am somebody′s Shakespeare

I am somebody's Jesus
And somebody′s gun
I am somebody's seven billion
I am somebody′s Judas
Somebody's queer
I am somebody's last year
But I am not here
I am not here
