Songtexte

Aah! It was just a nightmare. A wonderful, wonderful nightmare... I WISH that was my life! But here I am, stuck in the goddamn upper middle class!
I should've been a dictator! I COULD'VE been!
But the education system doomed me as a child
A "gifted kid", they called me. I USED to be smart
Well, I'm not-- I mean, well, I still AM smart I-- I just-- the kinda smart that's so smart you never actually, uh, contribute anything useful to society because you're just too smart. You're-- You're like a genius! At playing the blame game
"I used to be a gifted kid when I was thirteen
Now I'm burnt out and I'm depressed"
Is the equivalent of "I, I, I-I-I-I could've gone pro
And things could've been so very different"
Why do you take a weird masochistic pride
F-F-For fumbling a fifth-grade lead
Are you out of your goddamn mind?
It's 'cause your suffering is precious to you
'Cuz it makes you feel special and smart when you aren't
I think if you were gifted, you would've figured it out
But you didn't, you're just running your mouth
Looking for someone else to blame 'cause that's what geniuses do
You had the world right in your hands and now you haven't got a clue
I was a child! With a Lamborghini brain
I've spun out now, my brain's in flames!
And not one mechanic ever showed me how to use it!
So I abused it, yeah, but got too used to it
I missed my shot getting in the fast lane
I'm due for a repair, but I can't stand the shame
So I'll spin my wheels vainly in an internet forum
And jump the throats of folks who dare to question my authority
