Substance Lyrics by Girls

Broken Dreams Club

2010

[Verse 1]
It doesn't have to be this way
I know of something
To take the corners off
And help you rock and roll
Right down the road

And if you want to shape your brain
I know a substance
That gets rid of everything
And helps you rock and roll
Out of control

[Chorus]
Who wants something real
When you could have nothing?
Why not just give up
Who wants to try?
Let go of the wheel
Turn your ass over
Come on take it
It's a simple life

[Verse 2]
I never asked to feel this way
It's something that happened
You can just go with it, man
You can rock and roll
Right down the road

If you take it day by day
Don't try to fight it
You can do anything, yeah
You can rock and roll
Out of control

[Chorus x 2]

[Bridge/Outro]

I take the key in my hand and it opens up the day
I take the key in my hand and it takes the pain away (hey hey)
I take the key in my hand and it opens up the day
I take the key in my hand and it takes the pain away (hey hey)
I take the key in my hand and it opens up the day

But if I had love I'd throw it all away
