It's been so long since I've seen you
Shit-eating brilliance you try to protect
But I know how this ends, the same every time
Hollowed out, nauseous with no self respect
You're tangled into roots that will never grow
Yet you show off to the world
Stuck like the song in your head for the last ten years
You never move and they never learn
Sing the same damn song, over and over
Put on a show the one way you know how
Smile, show them your shattered, yellow teeth
You cashed them in for a quarter a piece
"Have a drink, have a smoke - stay for a while"
For more of the same shit, with a "brand new" twist
"Sit down while I tell you the simple secrets to success"
Your progress is just an LLC with a paycheck
In two more years you'll commit a repeat offense
The grass is always greener when it's shoved down your fucking throat
Reupholstered and refinished with a fresh coat of mace
It's just getting fucking old
And we're all getting way too fucking old
Cause in two years time it's just a repeat offense
To sing the same damn song, over and over again
It's like watching Budd Dwyer on repeat
And I'm so numb to seeing the same motherfucking thing
Reupholstered and refinished with a fresh coat of mace
And we're all getting way too fucking old
