Cop Shoot Cop - If Tomorrow Ever Comes Lyrics

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 cheque 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 sticky
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 youth
You played in the sunshine and dabbled in truth
Now what have you given me to remember you by
But hazy excuses and a 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
