You were one step behind in that dismal school of mine |
|
Needle and percocet instead of books on students desks |
|
We were so charming, but the future was alarming |
|
And now don't you go look so proud |
|
Yes, guess who's laughing now? |
|
And we've learned that life is one big game |
|
Where the winners are all getting paid |
|
So stop dragging your feet behind |
|
You can't live with the folks all your life |
|
So on those days home in your car |
|
We jerked the steering wheel to the median |
|
Joking that we'd end our lives |
|
But we weren't joking all the time |
|
"Start a band or throw a brick" |
|
You lazy hipsters make me sick |
|
Don't clap your hands; don't start to dance |
|
Don't let them know that you're a fan |
|
You may be living in Manhattan |
|
But where are you really from? (Have you forgotten?) |
|
Kid, you may be playing your music loud |
|
But it's drowned out by your mouth |
