If my life were a movie
  there would be a sunset
  and the camera would pan away
  but the sky is just a little sister
  tagging along behind the buildings
  trying to imitate their grey
  the little boys are breaking bottles
  along the sidewalk
  the big boys, too
  the girls are hanging out at the candy store
  pumping quarters into the phone
  'cause they don't want to go home
  
  and I think,
  what if no one's watching
  what it when we're dead, we're just dead
  what if it's just us down here
  what if god ain't looking down
  what if he's looking up instead
  
  if my life were a movie
  I would light a cigarette
  and the smoke would curl around my face
  everything I do would be interesting
  I'd play the good guy
  in every scene
  but I always feel I have to
  take a stand
  and there's always someone on hand
  to hate me for standing there
  I always feel I have to open my mouth
  and every time I do
  I offend someone
  somewhere
  
  but what
  what if no one's watching
  what if when we're dead, we're just dead
  what if there's no time to lose
  what if there's things we gotta do
  things that need to be said
  
  you know I can't apologize
  for everything I know
  I mean you don't have to agree with me
  but once you get me going
  you better just let me go
  we have to be able to criticize
  what we love
  say what we have to say
  'cause if you're not trying to make something better
  as far as I can tell
  you're just in the way
  
  I mean what
  what if no one's watching
  what if when we're dead
  we're just dead
  what if it's just us down here
  what if god is just an idea
  someone put in your head
  
  I mean what
  what if no one's watching
  what if no one's watching...
