Garbage

I wish I had a metal heart

I could cross the line

I wish that I was half as good

As you think I am



But now that we know for sure they're telling lies when they say

No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies

You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear

They say the world is round



Wish I was as big as you

You'd have to tell the truth

I'd be nothing you could hurt

Nothing you could use



But now that we know for sure they're telling lies when they say

No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies

You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear

They say the world is round

The world is round?



I want to be dependable, I want to be courageous and good

I want to be faithful so that I can be heroic and true

I want to be a friend you can rely on you can lean on and trust

I want to understand so I can forgive and be willing to love



I wish I wasn't flesh and blood

I would not be scared

Of bullets built with me in mind

For then i could be saved



My sweet lord take care of me for i think i'm done

Kiss my mother on her cheek and lay my burden down



But now that we know for sure they're telling lies when they say

No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies

You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear

They say the world is round

The world is round
