Lyrics If Tomorrow Ever Comes - Cop Shoot Cop

If Tomorrow Ever Comes

And if tomorrow ever comes we’ll buy ourselves new boots and coats;
We’ll set things straight with all our friends.
(and I’m still waiting)
And if tomorrow ever comes we’ll send a check to the old man;
We’ll have the time to make amends.
(and I’m still waiting)
And if tomorrow ever comes we’ll learn to like to be deceived;
We’ll watch ourselves on video.
(and I’m still waiting)
And if tomorrow ever comes we’ll curse the day we were conceived;
We’ll wish that we had never known.
(and I’m still waiting)
No shoulder, no shoulder
No shoulder to cry on.
We’ll know how small we really are.
We’ll be amazed we’ve come this far.
We’ll rip the blinders from our eyes and truly see.
You’ll resurrect the crucifix atop a church of blackened sticks.
We’ll hope that we deserve to die unholy.
And if tomorrow ever comes, maybe we’ll get an explanation.
I’m living in the shadow of your glorious truth.
You played in the sunshine and dabbled in truth.
Now what have you given me to remember you by,
But hazy excuses and handful of lies.
And if tomorrow ever comes they’ll make us sorry we were young
But we’ll be satisfied and fed.
And if tomorrow ever comes they’ll make us speak with just one tongue;
We’ll think of things we should have said.
(and I’m still waiting)
No shoulder, no shoulder
No shoulder to cry on.
We’ll set ablaze the ship of fools.
We’ll drive the vermin from our schools.
We’ll drag them screaming to the dark and smoking street.
The crutch of vanity will crack
Beneath the burdens on your backs
As you are forced to torch the temples of conceit.
And if tomorrow ever comes, maybe we’ll get an explanation.
Everything was easier when you had your time.
You’ve taken my innocence and now you want my prime.
Don’t look so disappointed at my distrust,
Because you’ve taken everything…
Except my disgust.
And if tomorrow ever comes…
