The Air That You Breathe

Nuno Bettencourt

I got a great big smile

But I got rotten teeth

My posture's kinda good

From my knees to my feet



And if I cut my hair

Most people they won't stare

But if people don't stare,

Who will care, who will care



I got me a tattoo, it makes me feel so tough

If someone would fight me please

God I need to be touched



The closest that I get

To ever feel your kiss

I get to take a drag off a used cigarette



Sometimes I think I'm better off dead

But then if I'm dead, they'll bury my head

If I can't use my lips, can't kiss the air

Why kiss the air?

(Cause it's the air you breathe)



Sometimes I wish I wish

I wish that I was sick

Cause then I would belong to a popular plauge

Sometimes I wish I wish

I wish that I was green

I could fight for my rights, I would march standing tall



All I wanted was you, all I wanted was you

But you don't notice me

You despise, you despise



Sometimes I think I'm better off dead

But then if I'm dead, they'll bury my head

If I can't use my lips, can't kiss the air

Why kiss the air?

(Cause it's the air you breathe)



The closest that I get to ever feel your kiss

I get to take a drag off a used cigarette

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

But you don't notice me

You despise, You despise



If all you wanted was

If all you wanted was life

You would then recognize me
