Golden Child

Tonight I pressed a pencil to paper

Was surprised I didn't see Shakespeare

Gave on up, and gave in

Broken lead, bleeding a bad dream

Wake me up when I've got my trophy

Don't wanna try, just wanna win

Expecting eyes pinned to my neck

They'd rather me dead than imperfect

Golden child, where did you go wrong?

Where have you been all night long?

Golden child, silver spoon in mouth

Let them talk as you let them down

2:00 A.M. with something on my breath

Blue ribbons won't get outta my head

Is this who I wanna be?

Freedom's tasting so damn addictive

Perfection was so damn restrictive

When I fuck up, I am free

Expecting eyes pinned to my neck

They'd rather me dead than imperfect

Golden child, where did you go wrong?

Where have you been all night long?

Golden child, silver spoon in mouth

Let them talk as you let them down

Golden child

Show them child

You're golden child

Golden child

Show them child

You're golden
