IfYouCouldSaveYourself

If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All) - Ween

On a free ride home from the embassy

I saw the governor and his lover holding hands

When I got to my place I emptied my suitcase

And opened the windows wide

If you could save yourself you'd save us all

Is that what you called me for is that why you're knocking on my door

The time I've spent working myself to death

Thought that's what you wanted

I thought you needed my help

To make it good again to make us strong

To make you happy to push you along

And gain some respect to be thrown a crumb

I was on my knees when you knocked me down

The wheels fell off the bottom dropped out

The checks all bounced I came in your mouth

Your mother came calling but there was no one around

The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown

The vultures were circling when the circus left town

I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink

If you could save yourself you'd save us all

Is that what you called me for is that why you're knocking on my door

The time I've spent working myself to death

Thought that's what you wanted

I thought you needed my help

To make it good again to make us strong

To make you happy to push you along

And gain some respect to be thrown a crumb

I was on my knees when you knocked me down
