lyrics

(Verse 1)
God come on smile upon my life just one time
I’ve never won anything in my whole life
who wants to prove to the world that they came from that
they’re not some loser who has got no plan

(Pre Chorus)
But who is on the offensive ‘gainst the ones in their alliance
Rendered to pretend they’re not with us ninety nine
But who wouldn’t want everything to be easier
Why would you ever think that you’ve even come close
Tell me less about your dreams and more about what you’ve done
Living vicariously for what you’ll never become

(Verse 2)
I’ve heard all the fantasies such opulent worship
It’s all so laughably and alarmingly absurd
Who put the work in for a trivial fraction
But is still an apologist for those whipping their back

(Pre Chorus)
Me, I’ll watch the rocket ship blow up and laugh about it for days
I swear to god I ain’t showing up again til I get paid

(Chorus)
But who wouldn’t want everything to be easier
Why would you ever think that you’ll ever come close
Tell me less about your dreams and more about what you’ve done
Living vicariously for what you’ll never become
