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

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

Waiting for our embrace

Listening to any partners

Hoping that it will change

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

You think that you're special till the bubble is burst

You're too fucking special

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

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

And these are just my idiot proverbs

And easy just the things that I say

These are just my idiot proverbs

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
