Lyrics

This is my
Earth And
I live in it
It's one third dirt and two thirds water
And it rotates and revolves through space
At rather an impressive pace
And never even messes up my hair
And here's the really weird thing
The force created by it's spin
Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in
This is my
Earth And it's fine
It's where
I spend the vast majority of my time
It's not perfect, but it's mine
It's not perfect
This is my country
And I live in it
It's pretty big and nice to walk on
And the bloke who runs my country
Has built a demagoguery
And taught us to be fearful and boring
And the weirdest thing is that he is
Conservative of politics
But really rather radical of eyebrows
This is my country
And it's fine
It's where
I spend a vast majority of my time
It's not perfect, but it's mine
It's not perfect
This is my house
And I live in it
It's made of cracks and photographs
We rent it off a guy who bought it from a guy
Who bought it from a guy
Whose granddad left it to him
And the weirdest thing is that this house
Has locks to keep the baddies out
But they're mostly used to lock ourselves in
This is my house
And it's fine
It's where
I spend a vast majority of my time
It's not perfect, but it's mine
It's not perfect, but it's mine
This is my body
And I live in it
It's thirty-one and six months old
It's changed a lot since it was new
It's done stuff it wasn't built to do
I often try to fill it up with wine
And the weirdest thing about it is
I spend so much time hating it
But it never says a bad word about me
This is my body
And it's fine
It's where
I spend a vast majority of my time
It's not perfect, but it's mine
It's not perfect
This is my brain
And I live in it
It's made of love and bad song lyrics
It's tucked away behind my eyes
Where all my screwed up thoughts can hide
Cause God forbid
I hurt somebody
And the weird thing about a mind
Is that every answer that
I find Is the basis of a brand new cliche
This is my brain
And it's fine
It's where
I spend a vast majority of my time
It's not perfect, but it's mine
It's not perfect, but it's mine
It's not perfect
I'm not quite sure
I've worked out how to work it
It's not perfect, but it's mine
But it's mine
