| | |
| | That was just you now who's telling who with every step you take do you feel yourself falling? grasping for that handrail that's leading you nowhere parental guidance gone well, it's just another delinquent song how many times... do you have to be told when you're crossing someone else's line just because you don't see things the same as the next guy it ain't your job to try!! thickheaded, yeah some might say pathetic i think we're gonna say it's apathetic what are you striving for is it simple satisfaction if you make the wrong decision you might hurt someone else we've all got equal opportunities we're all standing on this common ground and if we try to walk the same path together sooner or later someone will fall astray |

| | |
| | I don't want to be me anymore. everyone's chosen to ignore me. it seems they all know what's in store. so i let the public program me. if they don't like what you say. they'll shut you off like a tv. and if you do something wrong or write an intelligent song. they'll throw it all away. everyone just imitates eachother. and they think it's something true. but, i know i'm just waiting. for the money i make off my cd. jimmy cracked corn. and i don't give a fuck. i'll just take my chances. i'll just press my luck. everyone is looking at you now, so just give in. you know you're running out of time, you can't win. |

"an individual dies" is passed to a jock with a car that's fast. you're the problem! |
