Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My teachers at school had us safe from the spoons
And smiled when they said that we could be anything
Our dreams are obscene
We were gonna be astronauts
Gonna be presidents
Live on the sliver screen
[Verse 2]
And I didn't sing
Could swear I'ma just thrash
Around the deep end of the pool that they threw us in
And now we genocide
We're broken, depressed
We're washed in all heck
Waiting to shine again
[Verse 3]
Waiting for our embrace
Listening to any partners
Hoping that it will change
[Verse 4]
But things don't work exactly that way
The rich become richer, the poor stay the same
If the world is your oyster, the price is much pain
You spend most your time pretend that you're okay
And if you don't bend like that, it breaks you
You try with your mop, the ruckus still moves you
You know, you know better than others, you might be worse
Blank is a blessing and sometimes it's a curse
[Verse 5]
You think that you're special till the bubble is burst
You're too fucking special
[Verse 6]
If there's no use complaining
As a matter of fact
You get what you get and don't get upset
With one door closes there might not be a next
You might not be so happy
But try as we pretend
[Verse 7]
The world doesn't owe you, it's not your own fault
Your parents weren't perfect, your idols were false
And the years fly fast, pretty soon you lose count
There's never a time you'll ever work it all out
There's never a time you'll ever work it all out
There's never a time you'll ever work it all out
[Verse 8]
And these are just my idiot proverbs
And easy just the things that I say
These are just my idiot proverbs
[Verse 9]
First disappoint, you're born and then you die
If you don't get cancer you'll work until you're tired
It's the same damn rut, you're running out of time
If you're lucky you can nap your last twenty years in style
