PET NEEDS - Fear for the Whole Damn World

{verse 1}
I set up voice recognition on my phone
The day after my cat got run over
Now i have to feign depression
Every time i need to know the weather
And i don't know whether or not
I'm doing well anymore
And i don't know whether or not
These tunes will sell at all

{chorus}
Don't follow, don't follow in my footsteps
I fear that i ain't done any good yet
I fear for the whole damn world
Don't follow, don't follow in my footsteps
I fear that i ain't done any good yet
I fear for the whole damn world

{verse 2}
I tried meditating
Mate, i tried everything
I've been spending all my money
On forgetting, forgetting, forgetting
Sometimes it's cheaper and easier being asleep
I hate my own advice
I ain't got no more pride to swallow
Don't follow in my footsteps
I fear that i ain't done any good yet

{chorus}
Don't follow, don't follow in my footsteps
I fear that i ain't done any good yet
I fear for the whole damn world
Don't follow, don't follow in my footsteps
I fear that i ain't done any good yet
I fear for the whole damn world

{verse 3}
The house is quieter nowadays
I lie awake contemplating my neighbour
Who spat that our cat was a nuisance
The day that she died, wouldn't put it past her
In nine short months you taught me
That i could love in a way that i'd never before
You're immortalised in liner notes
I thought that i would get to see you grow old

{chorus}
Don't follow, don't follow in my footsteps
I fear that i ain't done any good yet
I fear for the whole damn world
Don't follow, don't follow in my footsteps
I fear that i ain't done any good yet
I fear for the whole damn world

{outro}
Don't follow, don't follow, oh
Don't follow, don't follow, oh-oh
Don't follow, don't follow, oh
Don't follow, don't follow, oh-oh
Don't follow, don't follow, oh
Don't follow, don't follow, oh-oh
Don't follow, don't follow, oh
Don't follow, don't follow, oh-oh
