Pantomime

Feel like I'm stuck up in a pantomime Or maybe I've been stuck in front of traffic lights Running rings around a roundabout And everybody begging for a shout me out I'm still sitting in a traffic jam Cos I ain't built for living in the fast lane Still wanna get my mark made But I don't wanna put myself in harm's way Feel like I'm stuck up in a pantomime Where the goodies hold the bragging rights And I find myself in Centre stage All I wanted was to have a life But I don't wanna find an alibi So all that I can say is just a hi and bye Sit alone and maybe time will fly Swiping right and typing chat up lines Go to uni I'm in second year I don't think I've ever left my second gear Hood up head down when I'm on road Cos I don't wanna stumble over pot holes How does she believe well only God knows I'm impressed I'm running with a blocked nose Cold out when the sun's in And the public only read what's on the front print Feel like I'm stuck up in a pantomime And the villain he behind me Always wanna put me on my heine If we get it right they write a Time piece If they buy then I might buy a timepiece And dance all for the lights until it blinds me For now I'm back stage with the stage fright And everybody else can have a great night And if they get a cue then they all boo And if they read the card then they all laugh What if this life? Was just a set up? Crash half way and buy a sports car Keep revising all our lectures And don't we ever ask a question First rule of the pantomime Pantomimes don't work without acceptance And I accept it Warming my chords drinking lemsip Audience make applause and they exit Then we all just a name on a checklist And they flexing living in a bedsit If they look good feeling good gets neglected I wanna smash glass break doors, get arrested But instead I'm a chill and watch Netflix Adrenaline rush to my head, it's Like I'm living with a death wish So far I've struggled for direction But I'm going out hard like it's Brexit Feel like I'm stuck up in a pantomime Pressure got me feeling like the worst act Stunt for the public click clack Blow my brains on stage like I'm Birdman
