Atmosphere If I Was Santa Clause Lyrics

If I Was Santa Clause Lyrics

[Slug]

 If I was a rich man

 I'd buy you some shoes

 Tall boots for all the dirt you walk through

 What would that do?

 Enable you to deal

 Without schooling you on how to touch what's real

 And if I was a smart man

 I'd tell you everything that I knew

 And give it to you every time you need a talking to

 But what would that do?

 Teach you my guidelines

 So you can be a cheerleader at your game on the sidelines

 And if I was a driver

 I'd keep my headlights on

 To see the difference between right and wrong

 I'd wear my seatbelt even when I'm in park

 Cause I don't trust the other fools that cruise through these parts

 And if I was a better cook

 I'd hook up a feast

 Set a table full of food for the children to eat

 I encourage the nourishment so we can breathe

 With the knowledge that we got something accomplished

 

 Chorus:

 And if I was Santa Claus, I'd fight for the cause

 Wouldn't expect nothing in return

 I'd give you everything you want, I'd be everything you need

 So you can take my hand and I can take the lead

 

 And if I was an honest man

 I would stop writing songs

 I'd break for a nervous breakdown for breakfast

 Tell everyone I knew to stay away from making music

 It ain't nothing but a confusing mess (confusing mess)

 And if I was you, I wouldn't hear a word I said

 Wouldn't trust nothing to start it up inside my head

 I'd make a conscious effort to live instead

 Of trying to kill the monsters that reside underneath the bed

 And if I was a hurt man

 I'd find a way to put my faith 

 Into a woman that could take me from today

 Maybe

 I need somebody that could save me

 From the parts of myself that keep making me crazy

 And if I was a wise man

 I'd climb to the top of the mountain peak

 To think about strength versus weakness

 I'd find a point that rests a couple of feet above your head

 And figure out how I could try to help you reach it

 (Ho ho ho)

 And if I did have a choice

 I'd never want to live forever

 Just let me have a voice so I can make my points

 I can't imagine running a race with no finish line

 Just let me keep my pace and make to most of my time

 I love giving but I'm bad at receiving

 The truth is, I'd prefer to be the one bleeding

 But I'm a paranoid that stays between play and work

 Cautious and aware, 'cause I'm afraid of being hurt

 Which brings me to the issue

 And that would be this:

 How often must I ask myself why I exist?

 I feel like a freak, this world is a circus

 Just trying to find myself as well as my purpose

 

 Chorus:

 And if I was Santa Claus, I'd fight for the cause

 Wouldn't expect nothing in return

 I'd give you everything you want, I'd be everything you need

 And you can take my hand and I can take the lead (2x)

 

 I got nothing but gifts

 Keep it up in my wits

 Got me drunk on the fifth

 And now we're stuck in a ditch

 And as dumb as it gets

 I'mma run you some fibs (?)

 I wanna touch your lips

 I wanna rub your hips

 Put a glove on the fist

 For the love that exists

 We'll keep bumping the hits

 To get my bucket of chips

 From the Bloods and the Crips

 To the skateboarding chicks

 Put the Atmosphere on your Christmas wishlist (2x)

 (Ho ho ho ho)
