What If No One's Watching

If my life were a movie
There would be a sunset
And the camera would pan away
But the sky is just a little sisterTagging along behind the buildings
Trying to imitate their gray
The little boys are breaking bottles
Against the sidewalkThe big boys, too
The girls are hanging out at the candy store
Pumping quarters into the phone
'Cause they don't want to go homeAnd I think,
What if no one's watching
What it when we're dead, we are just dead
What if it's just us down hereWhat if god ain't looking down
What if he's looking up insteadIf my life were a movie
I would light a cigarette
And the smoke would curl around my face
Everything I do would be interestingI'd play the good guy
In every scene
But I always feel I have to
Take a standAnd 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 doI offend someone
SomewhereBut what
What if no one's watching
What if when we're dead, we are just dead
What if there's no time to loseWhat if there's things we gotta do
Things that need to be saidYou know I can't apologize
For everything I know
I mean you don't have to agree with me
But once you get me goingYou 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
Then as far as I can tell
You are just in the wayI mean what
What if no one's watching
What if when we're dead
We are just deadWhat if it's just us down here
What if god is just an idea
Someone put in your headI mean what
What if no one's watching
What if no one's watching...
