Ancestors Lyrics by Mx Wander

From Pure Fury To Pretty Well

2021

[Verse]
I think of my ancestor's tooth
Wonder if I'm doing the right thing

We almost went to Australia
Almost went to the South-East

I think of my ancestor's tooth
Wonder if I could be the front-man
In a loud punk band

I don't know if the high is good enough
I dive into the crowd
Everyone's dancing

[Pre-Chorus]
I want the glamorous lifestyle
Want the hours in the van
Want the fans to tell me I helped them through a tough time

I want the words you can't take back
From those trips with the band
I want the gas station snack and the shitty smelly couches

[Chorus]
But when I go home
Well I'm changing my tune
I want to make morе money, honey
I want to have a baby, baby
I want to feel likе this forever
And ever

[Kazoo Instrumental]

[Verse]
I think of my ancestor's joy
And how lucky
I am to be me

Able to travel 'round the world
Happy
Safely

I think of my ancestor's joy
How they walked through the streets
In their own clothing

All of the shit they had to take
And they still managed
To demonstrate


[Pre-Chorus]
I want the glamorous lifestyle
Want the whispers and the stares
Want the kids to ask me if I'm a boy or girl

I want to hang with the community
Want to sing with the trans kids
Want to tell them it's okay to feel this way

[Chorus]
But when I go home
I'm just a regular dude
I want to make more money, honey
I want to have a baby, baby
I want to feel like this forever
And ever

[Kazoo Instrumental]

[Outro]
(AAAaaahhhh)
