What If?

Motor mouth running hot
Boasting his gold pot
Another tirade not on the same page
The latest stricture
Gina gets richer
Down in a mineshaft
You made quick cash, so make it last

I'm still wasting time
The afterglow will shine
(But what if?)
No buts or ifs
(But what if?)
I'll take the risk

I'm still wasting time
The afterglow will shine
(But what if?)
No buts or ifs
(But what if?)
I'm left homeless

The broader economy
Will suffer immensely
Home loan bank cuts, that make you reflux
When you're off the dole
Cut from the payroll
Dodging evictions, infected wisdoms
Fine for jaywalking, at zebra crossing
Without a licence I can't afford to even drive

I'm still wasting time
The afterglow will shine
(But what if?)
No buts or ifs
(But what if?)
I'll take the risk

I'm still wasting time
The afterglow will shine
(But what if?)
No buts or ifs
(But what if?)
I'm left homeless

You gotta kill them with kindness
To spot the difference
Between the soft and fierce
It's a game of dice
And I rolled snake eyes

Lucky I'm optimistic
Cause I'm, I'm still wasting time
The afterglow will shine
(But what if?)
No buts or ifs
(But what if?)
I'll take the risk

I'm still wasting time
The afterglow will shine
(But what if?)
No buts or ifs
(But what if?)
I'm left homeless
