How It’s Supposed to Be

I think I'll buy a gun and blame it on my hometown

It’s so cold in the D

She asked me if I think I'll ever see her again

I say, "Hopefully"






And maybe that's how it’s supposed to be

Maybe that's how it's supposed to be






My heroes all died young, they hung themselves with fame

And these lunatics, molded me

I got a tattoo, it's a joke I keep a secret

I need everyone to notice me






But maybe that's how it's supposed to be

Maybe that's how it's supposed to be

Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be

Maybe that's how it’s supposed to be






I think I'll die young with all my broken dreams

I've got it figured out, this is the golden key

Everything is how it's supposed to be

Everything is how it’s supposed to be






We messed it all up, now the world is getting warmer

L.A. will be out at open sea

Meanwhile, I'm falling down, my heart is getting colder

I hurt everyone close to me






But maybe that's how it's supposed to be

Maybe that's how it's supposed to be

Maybe that's how it's supposed to be

Maybe that's how it's supposed to be (Hey)






I think I'll die young with all my broken dreams

I've got it figured out, this is the golden key

The day my daddy died, I was down the street

I lost my only friend; people don't grow on trees

But maybe that's the way it's supposed to be

Yeah, I think that's the way it's supposed to be

Yeah, everything is how it's supposed to be

See, I think that's the way it's supposed to be (Ahh)






Woah-woah

Woah-woah

Woah-woah






See, I think that's the way it's supposed to be

Yeah, I think that's the way it's supposed to be

Everything is how it's supposed to be

I think this is how it's supposed to be






Well, here we are. This is Sunday morning, October 2, 1988, and this is Versagio and Lira. Versagio who I talked to last night wanted to see Michael, so there he is. Let's see if we can get him—Michael, look up here! Where you goin', Michael? Yeah, okay. Anyway, he is a real good kid.
