It's been so long since I've seen you Shit-eating brilliance you try to protect But I know how this ends, the same every time Hollowed out, nauseous with no self respect You're tangled into roots that will never grow Yet you show off to the world Stuck like the song in your head for the last ten years You never move and they never learn Sing the same damn song, over and over Put on a show the one way you know how Smile, show them your shattered, yellow teeth You cashed them in for a quarter a piece "Have a drink, have a smoke - stay for a while" For more of the same shit, with a "brand new" twist "Sit down while I tell you the simple secrets to success" Your progress is just an LLC with a paycheck In two more years you'll commit a repeat offense The grass is always greener when it's shoved down your fucking throat Reupholstered and refinished with a fresh coat of mace It's just getting fucking old And we're all getting way too fucking old Cause in two years time it's just a repeat offense To sing the same damn song, over and over again It's like watching Budd Dwyer on repeat And I'm so numb to seeing the same motherfucking thing Reupholstered and refinished with a fresh coat of mace And we're all getting way too fucking old
