Blank Baby

[Verse 1]

You might say someone else said it

Some worse, some better than I, I-I

You might see someone taking pictures

They can't put them back and I'll tell you why

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause even when originals are dead

Something still put that idea in your head

[Verse 2]

You might hear someone else singing

This very same song

I can't slap on nasty handcuffs

Or scold like a lawyer screaming wrong, wrong, wrong

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause even when the copyrights are fixed

A genuine thief has got a bottomless bag of tricks

[Chorus]

I was born a blank baby

And the world's here to fill my head

I'm still a blank baby

But the world would rather see me dead

I was born a blank baby

And the world's here to fill my head

I'm still a blank baby

But the world would rather see me dead

Woo!

[Verse 3]

You might see a painting in a studio

Might test the paint to find it's wet

Start scraping down, as deep as you can go

Until it's just as blank as it can get

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause even when the paint is dry

You can just erase it all by rolling back your eyes

[Chorus]

I was born a blank baby

And the world is here to fill my head

I'm still a blank baby

But the world would rather see me dead

I was born a blank baby

And the world is here to fill my head

I'm still a blank baby

But the world would rather see me dead

They'd rather see me dead

See me dead

[Verse 2]

You might hear someone else singing

This very same song

I can't slap on nasty handcuffs

Or scold like a teacher screaming wrong, wrong, wrong

[Pre-Chorus]

Cause all the originals are dead

[Chorus]

I was born a blank baby

And the world is here to fill my head

I'm still a blank baby

But the world would rather see me dead

I was born a blank baby

And the world is here to fill my head

I'm still a blank baby

But the world would rather see me dead

They'd rather see me dead

See me dead

[Outro]

You'd rather see me dead

Rather see me dead

You'd rather see me dead

You'd rather see me dead
