If only i were a goth lyrics

[livesinashoebox]

Please update the tags on this. The song is by ThouShaltNot. It's from their 2002 album You'll Wake Up Yesterday. Yes, the voice sounds a little like Voltaire; no, it's not him. You can find lyrics on thoushaltnot's website. This song does not appear on any album by Voltaire. Somebody mislabeled it a long time ago on the internet. I can't believe we're still correcting this mistake. Please change the tags on this video.

[WhatsMyAgeAgain2]

'And after that, we'll go listen to The Cure!'

haha who else loves The Cure?

[devonmascow]

If i only where goth!

[Moonlytesonata]

Omg I have goth friends...Gonna totally show them this heh heh there gunna kill me

[TheKillerpony123]

I'm goth and this makes me laugh.

My future husband was mentioned in this at: 1:12

Lestat <3

[dietherboy]

sweet song, but it ends too soon

i guess voltaire had gotten to depressed to continue with the song?

[sugarsweetdeath]

@dietherboy Do you mean ThouShaltNot? cause Voltaire didn't write this. It's a parody of "If I only had a brain" from wizard of oz which is a short song. But it's ThouShaltNot's on the album You'll wake up yesterday.

[6Vampyre6Kamui6]

Don't know about you but if I were a goth I'd worship Voltaire... Wait I do that already.

[xxdomoxxkunxx]

got to love the bach inspired organ playing(toccta and fouge in d minor, or at least its in d minor)

[punkinbug2008]

reminds me if i only had a brain from wizard of oz

[AngelusDlion]

@punkinbug2008 Its a parody...

[weapon2100]

well this was a wast of time...

[bethbas]

That awkward moment when most of the lyrics apply to you xD

I love this. This song is brilliant. Thanks for the lyrics.

[detarjag100]

love this love this love this

[immacabre]

i dont know if this has been said or not but this is not voltaire, its thou shalt not. just saying

[DeathsBestBitch]

After listenng to this a hundread times I only now realized he said he was undressing a corpse...Oh well, HAVE FUN!

[aliceghostlover]

I am goth and love this song haha makes me laugh sometimes :)

[RachaelAnnePerkins]

lol this song is good! :D

[0Klepto]

Listening to this lamenting the fact that I'm not a goth anymore.

[PuNkNeVeRdIeD13]

@0Klepto No one says you can't go back. Once a goth, always a goth. ;)

[kaiborg89]

I'm not a goth but... I like the mentioned bands... And I'm wearing mostly black....

OH NO WHAT HAVE I BECOME?! 

[gothgirl1217]

@kaiborg89 something amazing?

[GothRevolutionary]

@kaiborg89 welcome lol

[KatieJohnsonTV]

i was emo, so bloody glad i went goth :D

[joshmcgovern135]

@KatieJohnsonTV eww you were an emo. o.o do you even know about the goth subculture. just saying some people might state you're a poser.

[YuTao3215]

@joshmcgovern135 I was an emo once apon a time,then I relized there ins no point to it,you justy wallow in your sell pity and...something else happened... and I found out what being gothic was about so I became a goth so I can relate

[YuTao3215]

@KatieJohnsonTV same here friend, same here

[AstridTheAmazing]

@KatieJohnsonTV um you cant be emo its a type of music -_-

[alexofnottingham]

@AstridTheAmazing Emo is a subculture as well as a type of music. Like Punks are to Punk Rock and Goth is to Goth Rock. Emo is horrid by the way :'(.

[Vintersorganic]

It doesn't sound like Voltaire at all!

[GuitarRocker2008]

personally i dont care about the whole sub-culture debate all i care about is that my victim is still tied up where i left her now i you excuse me im going to g have some FUN oh one more thing the thing i dot get about goth is that you wear the clothings (to a degree in certain situations) of a sadist bu you dont have any fun with it i mean unless your actually raping killing and eating people whats the point it sounds so BORING

[MrCybergigan]

i don't dress like a goth but i have their philosophy so i suppose that'd make me a goth...and i approve :D

[DeathsBestBitch]

@sky78Ncat34 It's a joke song, And nobody really wants to die, They just don't want to deal with the pain. Life's a bitch and I'm ridding her ass all night.

[racingboo1]

@JohnnyWolfblood Very true

[JohnnyWolfblood]

HAHHAHAHAHH! You twilight loving emo faggots will never be goths.

[jimban86]

@JohnnyWolfblood they name is vamps =) ridiculis

[MemoryOfTheRose]

hahahaha love the ending "and if i worship peter murphy ♥ ♥" love it. this song is stuck in my head. if we had a theme song this would be it by far. hearing this made my day.

[FireSath]

I'm a goth, using lots of make up, black cortsets and gothic shoes, and I love this song.

It's funny, heh.

[gothbabybat]

Goths arnt depressed! Well, most of us. XD

[MegaPivotmaster101]

@gothbabybat that's true goths are just dark not depressed i know quiet a few happy goths now EMO's that's different id know i'm emo

[racingboo1]

theres a difference between goth, vanpire and necrofeliac!

But good song though.

[JohnnyWolfblood]

@racingboo1 Not the point...

But theres a HUGE fuckin difference between death metalheads, goths and emos.

[xxdomoxxkunxx]

@JohnnyWolfblood as a metalhead(not death metal)

i like goths alot(though i am not)

emos are self pity fucks

metalheads are pretty badass, my metalhead friends are like a second family

[skull7120]

Yea srsly rotflmfao

[imadethistowatchyaoi]

I hope you all know that your comments are making my day right now :P

[DragonGirl0876]

Hahaha! Yeah, not Voltaire, but this is hilarious! I'm a goth, and I have to show this to my parents. X3

[morganablackrat]

im goth and i love this song lol

[nekoemiko]

Umm this is by thoushaltnot.. Just sayen i mean voltair might have sung his own version, but this isn't his.

[00Manga0Lover00]

I love this song but I don't belive in gothsw ;)

[TheBlackwingdevil]

@jasonpwnsuall WATEVER you're name is (hell do I care bout that)but main thing I'm goth I'm not depressing that song isn't about most goths yes some want that but others (as in me as well) are not like that apart from black clothes boots etc.

[TheArcadianKing]

@voltairenyc

And so God hath spoken. *bows down and worships*

[DeathsBestBitch]

Is it sad it took me a few replays to realize that this reminded me of the Tin Man from Wizzard of Oz? XDDD love it

[lkirkup]

@DeathsBestBitch don't you mean the jizzard of oz LMFAO :D

[jasonpwnsuall]

most of my wardrobe is black, i wear boots/converses, im usually depressed, i worship peter murphy, IM AN EMO. FUCK ALL YOU GOTH MUTHAFUCKAS!

[EvilBakaCat]

@jasonpwnsuall emo: the immature depressing son of goth

im being serious, I have emo friends but still

[DeathsBestBitch]

@jasonpwnsuall Hey, I used to be Emo so I know where you come from, but I turned Goth, then Punk, then just me. Don't go bitching to everyone just because OMG EVRYONE HATES EMOS YYYYY, it is sad that people aren't accepting of emos, but they don't accept gays ither, nor other things, so just suck it up, be yourself, and hang with who you want to be with. Don't diss someone because of the 'clic' their in, diss them for how they act, and by the way YOU are acting like a little bitch.

[njoinvisablegirl]

@DeathsBestBitch No offense intended, I don't resent the emo subculture because anything that teaches people to express their feelings is alright with me. What i resent are the emo KIDS, middle class spoiled brats who wine because they have to wash dishes. Any time I've had to work with an "emo" kid all they ever did was sit in the break room and wine about how bored they were.

[TheOmegazero1000]

@DeathsBestBitch Not everyone hates goths. they're just not very popular because they keep killing themselves off. Remember, kids, down the street, not across the road.

[jasonpwnsuall]

@DeathsBestBitch it was a joke, first off, and second off i consider myself a Jason, i'm neither emo, nor punk, nor goth, but a mix of the 3. so calm the fuck down, please

[DeathsBestBitch]

@jasonpwnsuall avoid saying things like FUCK YOU ALL, or GOTH MOTHAFUCKAS, because one it offendes ppl, two your acting like a stupid twelve year old sixth grader(not saying all are, but most are) by posting stuff like that.

[BioHazardDoom]

Eh. It's alright I guess. :)

[Pi3Lord]

VOLTAIRE COMMENTED!!! O_O

YOUR FUCKING LUCKY!

[MsGirgirl]

I did not expect this to be the same tune as "If i only had a Brain" from the Wizard of Oz

[bleachdemonx9]

what i ment to say was, "no way voltarie commented on this video! his music rules!"

[starbabylove100]

7 people must be emo

[bleachdemonx9]

no way! awsome voltaire rules!

[metallica12606]

omg we are all like totally blessed he commented lol

[xxdomoxxkunxx]

oh shit, you got voltaire to comment on you're video, YOU LUCKY FUCK

[landscapeofdreams1]

omg i remember loving this song when i was bout 17 or sth

[Rashuanu]

Wow, this tune remninds of Scarecrow's 'If only I had a brain.'

[MultiMusicman1000]

@Rashuanu itsapractical replica dumby

[HipsyGypsy93]

@Rashuanu That's cuz it's the same tune! Parodying the "If I only..." songs to a certain degree. Just makes the song itself even better, I'll say!

[DjLuna6]

@Rashuanu really dude?

[THERiffRandell]

I love this song!

[SylarGrimm]

i have discovered, and looked it up, this is by a band called Thoushallnot.....

[skullythebloger]

EVERYONE!!!

QUIT REPLYING VOLTAIRENYC!!!

-_-

people, spam his fb, dont flood him with replys

[RatsRule101]

hey coontailz come down and take a joke I don't mind if this wat people think of me as long as they don't call emo :)

[coontailz7]

this song is stupid and doesnt even cover a reality goth. goths dont got to be thin or tall they can be what ever. and some goths like classical music ya know. and ya dont got to be depressed or lonely or even wish to die all the time jeesh peple get it right ! im tired of people stereotypin goths as one. theres all kinds of goths not juz one.

[Tehlazyfreakazoid]

@coontailz7 It;s supposed to be funny and be all about the stereotypes. It was made by a GOTH band, they know what Goth is. It's just supposed to be one big joke.

[Junttilaaz]

@coontailz7 I think this song is more about making fun of goth cliches than goths themselves. You must admit, surely, that every third-hand hearsay concerned parents ever heard is represented here in an amusing way.

[bokkreviewing]

@coontailz7 and I'm guessing you fall into the preteen thinks that just because they say something means the stereotype goes away, even though stereotypes have to make up a good portion of a group and only exist because people are too busy with their own interests to deal with all the subtleties of another groups crap, goth group. The songs for fun. and it's fun to listen to, Stop being so full of yourself. Especially if your since of identity comes from something as cliche as a fad.

[luceindatate]

i hate this song its mean toward goths and im a goth i hate evrything thats bright so darken up i hate sandels

[SamoneTigra]

well I can hear that they mispronounced Le'Stat from Interview with a vampire, but I still love this song.

[luceindatate]

@SamoneTigra yer i hate this song cuz its mean and ima goth not all goths are like that but i do hate sandels ew!!

[DeadFleshBoi]

Lol Goth is a music genre/scene not a fashion statement or state of mind. Voltaire is considered to be Dark Cabaret not Goth.

[annodracula]

im a goth and i just got my new ring tone seriously people this is funny not offensive darken up ;)

[norsemythologyfreak]

With my hair up I'd look fancy Like Siouxsie and the Banshees With silk or velvet cloth Goth: Okay... Poseur: Who? Dressed in boots, never sandals And the room would be lit with candles. Goth: That must take a lot of candles. Poseur: I wear sandals... If I only were a goth... Yes I'd wanna die From the bottom of my heart impure Goth: This song is so cool- wait what?! Poseur: Finally I agree with this song.

[SuperFly1077]

@norsemythologyfreak I'm Goth and I approve this comment. XD

[DarkShadowMegadeth]

@norsemythologyfreak I do not understand what you are saying. Make sense please.

[THERiffRandell]

Is this on a cd? Cuze I want it! :)

[robloxrules55]

i love the style of goth i luv this song yet im not a goth...i am happy go lucky im not a goth cos goths hate everything and stuff but i luv everything...well except the song ''sunshine lolliepops'' XD....if i only were a goth :/

[quetsai]

asmuch as i like voltarie this is thoushaltnot

[Deathstorm501]

@quetsai i believe he himself pointed that out in the highest rated comments section, at the time i'm writing this.

[MemoryOfTheRose]

thumbs up if you are goth and love this song

[bribrimichaeljackson]

@MemoryOfTheRose haha total thumbs up :P

[4ngelDust]

@MemoryOfTheRose lolling at the stereotype.

[MemoryOfTheRose]

@4ngelDust hahaha i know right. oh well this song is hysterical. i dont think ive heard it without cracking up. again, its one of those songs lol

[TheCandyFromHell]

@MemoryOfTheRose Hell yeah.

[TheNilsje]

i really think its awesoem to be a god...hmm lesee...yea...it is :D

[lylavati]

1:20 or 1:21 -- einstürzende neubauten?

[bribrimichaeljackson]

this is like the emo song..but for goths xD favourite parody of if i only had a brain xD

[MegaLordNathan]

sounds like that song from the wizard of Oz

[THERiffRandell]

@MegaLordNathan I think it is. When I fiirst heard this, I thought it was something "Weird Al" would of did, but then I found out ThouShaltNot did this.

[antichristeileen]

i am a goth and i love this XD

[bribrimichaeljackson]

@antichristeileen same xD i loove stereotypical songs xD they just make me laugh sooo hard

[antichristeileen]

@bribrimichaeljackson oh i know right lol

[InquisitorxSmith]

Twilight- One girls choice between necrophilia and beastiality.

[JackwornHatter]

@InquisitorxSmith lol fucken gay rite?

[urdeathbed]

goths are to me better then emos >> even tho emo girls are really... fucking hot

[raidenvyper]

@urdeathbed true but u have 2 put p with there mood swings

[JohnnyWolfblood]

@urdeathbed EMOS are fucking ugly as shit, there are however some cute and nice scene girls which are like emos but without the bitchyness or the uglyness.

[PunkItachi]

lol i was signing this all day in school just walking down the halls signing it getting even more stares then i usually do

[THERiffRandell]

Id like 2 use this song for a video I wanna do of Tim Burton's "Vincent," amination. But I just dont know how to do it...

[THERiffRandell]

This should Andy Six's theme song. If it had more of a punk rock sound 2 it, but oh well!

[LadyDark000]

If I only were a goth!!!

[superawesomesauce]

I don't think this is voltaire.

[VertousWLF]

@superawesomesauce it is not

[Karas0w0]

this rhythm sounds very familiar for some reason

[SPREADthePLAGUE1]

@Karas0w0 Ever watched Wizard of Oz? Or more specifically the part were the scarecrow is singing about "If Only I Had A Brain"?

[Karas0w0]

@SPREADthePLAGUE1 thank you i would of been stuck on that all week

[voltairenyc]

Love this song but IT'S NOT BY ME!!!!!

Seriously, it's great but it's by Thou Shalt Not!

[TheKariboDude]

@voltairenyc we still love you xD

[NinjaNana707]

@voltairenyc

i think everyone thinks its you cause his voice is like spot on -to an extent- to yours xD

[gamewize1]

@voltairenyc well looks like alot of people fail.

[Samurai416]

@voltairenyc sounds a bit like you though :)

[houseMDvideosdotcom]

@voltairenyc they sound allot like you ,or you like they,either way you are a goth so it can't be by you and if we are on this topic can you give me your best Lestat impression?

[weckar]

@voltairenyc Your voices are rather similar though.

[CarpeNoctemZise]

@voltairenyc you didn't even cover it or something?cause it sounds like you!

cute and funny song! <3 <3 <3

[EvilBakaCat]

@voltairenyc wait not by YOU? your voltaire?? -worships-

[YuTao3215]

@voltairenyc you should do a cover of it

[ProtectionVampira107]

@voltairenyc No, it's by Voltaire. >.>

[YuTao3215]

@ProtectionVampira107 dude that is voltaire,i think he would know if he did the song ._.

besides doesn't sound like him

[skullythebloger]

@ProtectionVampira107 Voltairenyc is voltaire's youtube channel XD

[MrJack2449]

@ProtectionVampira107 epic fail.

[4sh70nGal]

@voltairenyc really?? it kinda sounds like you when i first heard it. lol. VOLTAIRE RULES!!!!

[MultiVampiress]

i am not sure weather to be insulted or not XD

[ValentineBlood101]

I love Voltaire...but im not sure if this is his song.....but i'm what most people label 'Goth' and so i just wear black,chains,lace,and look at life darker...serious i'm getting tried of people trash talking 'Emos'....so let them be that why are you wasting your time on them by talking or bitching about them?.....there's my point...

[germanwolf666]

@ValentineBlood101 im just having fun in the end i dont give a shit

[mindgoesblank0]

@ValentineBlood101 Nah this isn't Voltaire, it's ThouShaltNot...

[MiserysTragedy]

Lol I'm loving these anti emo comments! EMOS SUCK ASS!!!!!!

[AmazingAnimeGirl]

Im very offended.....but the song is cool.....but im still offended... :P

[S4CFoLife]

Not all of us listen to The Cure, I for one can't stand their music.

[RougeNinjaplz]

:D

This Song Makes me happy. :3

[kozinc]

THIS is how I discovered ThouShaltNot - The Band.

[dresse13]

this is fucking awesome :D

[NighthunterTheXIII]

@MyOldName

Thank you and may you read many, many more just like it.

[NighthunterTheXIII]

What song does this spoof off of? Or is this the one that is always spoofed?

[EARUINER]

@NighthunterTheXIII This song is If Only I Had A Brain from the Wizard of Oz. Culture up!

[NighthunterTheXIII]

@EARUINER Thanks. Thought it sounded familiar.

[MyOldName]

@NighthunterTheXIII

When I read this comment I died a little inside.

[gignomai]

THIS IS NOT VOLTAIRE.

It is THOUSHALTNOT.

[JohnnyWolfblood]

@gignomai THIS IS SPARTA!

[weckar]

@gignomai THOU SHALT NOT CONFUSE THESE!

[mikbfilms32]

I swear that they have Aurelio Voltaire Hernandez singing in the albim version. TSN doesnt sound this sexy while singing!

[FieryWolfgal11]

G@Y ASSES!

[weckar]

text is illegible...

[pokemonpwnr]

mp3 plz

[Spekterdoll]

It's songs like this that make me smile :]

Love Voltaire :D

[TakiroChan]

that's like so weird. I love Voltaire but don't know that many songs of his. But I'm always stepping over his songs and find out that he is even more awesome than I've thought =D

[Necrypt]

C'mon, most of the people crying about this video don't even know who Siouxsie and the banshees, the Cure or Peter Murphy are!

And they call themselves goths...pffff.

About the emo kiddies, nobody gives a shit about them anymore, so they 're simply out of place right now. Emo has been dead since the 90's anyway.

[nrviolette]

"In my casket purse I'm toutin' Einsturzende Neubauten..."

I typically dislike Voltaire but that lyric is _ingenius_.

[Jill4ChrisRedfeild]

Real goths will laugh at this. Emos will freak out and over react and say "THAT'S WHAT I AM!! THIS SONG KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT EMOS AND GOTHS!!" (typo'd on purpose) then go and cry and think no one understands them.

Goths have humour.

Although I must say, fashion on the Emo side is pretty fun, it widens the veriety (sp) of colours you can wear and still look punk/gothic ^^

[Jill4ChrisRedfeild]

There's a huge difference between Goth and Emo >_> This is a mix of both

[Idomeneoband]

being goth is the best thing ever!!! i'm 23 been goth since i 13 and i am never changing :)

[deathrockerette]

This is performed by 'Thoushaltnot', not Voltaire.

[Shinerose]

This song sound more Emo then GOth. But hey I like it.

[Jill4ChrisRedfeild]

@Shinerose 

[Necrypt]

NO IT IS NOT.

[LockedOnTarget136]

Also, I don't want to grow up~ I like being viewed as immature in your eyes~

[furrymaster69]

goth are not freaky. We are freaky to people because they do not understand us because they are close minded, hypocrital, blind to see that this world is going to Hell and people are to sheltered when they were growing up to look around them and see what is real. As a goth myself, I think that we are the only ones who get it. There is no meaning to life. We are the sane ones. Humanity is  doom and damned. Welcome to the real world.

[Hardrada88]

good song, scene is fail, goth all the way

[firebunnyg]

by the way, this isnt voltaire's song, he has never sung it nor did he make it

[doctordemented]

While everyone is freaking out about being labelled and being a noncomformist, I'll be sitting happily in my candlelit room listening to ThouShaltNot and laughing at all the insecure ones. Love this song.

[mindgoesblank0]

@doctordemented Your voice of reason is most welcome here...

[LockedOnTarget136]

Seriously, who wants to be goth? Or anything for that matter?! I thought you all wanted to be NON conformists?
