I remember the days I used to laugh and play.
My friends were mostly girls and I got good grades.
That was a time I could look back on proudly and say "Hey, that's me"
but now the future pummels me with uncertainty.

Success I'll never grasp, won't obey the status quo (Success I'll never grasp)
Am I cynical, political or mental? I don't know. (A love I'll never find or notice)
In my head I've got all the explanations that I need (Maybe this is just a test)
that not a m_________er in the world would believe.

And I fail. Remarks misheard callously.
The notes we passed in class never had an effect on me.
You win. You've beat me at my own game.
But you're not gonna be there when I've won.

I'm sure I'm not as bad as I think, but I feel like
I've done nothing and now I'm at the brink of zero
And I ain't got no souvenirs from the last few years
that could f___ing show.

Sellout now or I'm never gonna win (That I've attained some form of success)
Who needs to give a m_________ing s___ about my f___ing friends? (A love I'll never find or notice)
The hand on the clock reaches my end (How much of this makes any sense)
Bop Bada Bop

Its not me. I know that I made you see
The directionless slacker I made myself out to be.
Well you, win. It doesn't matter.
'Cause I'm not gonna be there when you're gone.

I don't need your advice and I don't need your help. Why am I so lonely if I still have myself?
Why should I care if I don't have a chick to take all of my ca$h and hurt me till I'm sick?
It all makes such sense, its all loud and clear
I may have had a bad week, a bad month, a bad year but the future's there
and all I've got to do is concentrate on what I want.
And if you oppose me, f___ you.
