EVERCLEAR LYRICS - White Men In Black Suits

"White Men In Black Suits"



I am just a boy working in a record store

Yes I moved to San Francisco just to see what I could be

I am a loser geek, crazy with an evil streak

Yes I do believe there is a violent thing inside of me

She is just a girl, she is doing what she can

She dances topless

When she's not playing in her band

Such a pretty girl, happy in an ugly place

Watching all the pretty people do lots of ugly things

I think it's getting better for the two of us

Yes I think it's getting better almost everyday

I could give a damn for what those people say

All I want to do is lose myself in your room

All you want is just a slow fuck in the afternoon

I still see those scary guys when I am all alone at night

I kiss the ring you gave me then I swing with all my might

I think it's getting better for the two of us

I think it's getting easier for you and me to agree

That the white men in black suits

They are diminishing

Yes I think they are diminishing

Yes I think they diminish you and they diminish me

I think they are diminishing

You know sometimes I hear those people say

Yeah she takes a bus

Over to the north side of the city

She goes to work stripping for the rich white men

All the words they give her

Make her feel so soft and pretty

She wears them but they never seem to fit

Yes I think it's getting beter for the two of us

Yes I think it's getting better in the worst way

I refuse to be afraid of almost everyone

Afraid of all the things they do or the words that they say

Let's live the way we want to live and hope they go away

I really hope they go away

I really hope they find a nice place

I hope they find it somewhere

I hope they go away

I can still hear all those people say
