You, you try, you try to get by, |
you’re never going to pull it off, |
you shouldn’t even try. |
You’re a wet cigarette, |
you’re always second best, |
they’re never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves. |
So you fight for them to realize, |
there’s more to life, |
there’s more to you, |
there’s more than meets the eye. |
And when you’re done, the battle’s been won, |
you sit back, you smile, |
And this is what you hum, you hum, |
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, |
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh. |
You, you try, you try to get by, |
you’re never going to pull it off, |
you shouldn’t even try. |
You’re a wet cigarette, |
you’re always second best, |
they’re never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves. |
You fight for them to realize, |
there’s more to life, |
there’s more to you, |
there’s more than meets the eye. |
And when you’re done, the battle’s been won, |
you sit back, you smile, |
And this is what you hum, you hum, |
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, |
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh. |
(Years!) go by, the time it does fly, (Whoa oh oh) |
Every single second is a moment in time, (Whoa oh oh) |
that passes oh so quick, and it seems like nothing, (Whoa oh oh) |
but when you’re looking back, well it amounts to everything, |
(Whoa) I’ve got myself, I’ve got my friends, (Whoa oh oh) |
I’ve got my little family, but that’s not where it ends, (Whoa oh oh) |
This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone, (Whoa oh oh) |
It’s in the name of honesty because life has just begun. |
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, |
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh. |
Look around little brother can you tell me what you see? |
You’re a big boy now, so take responsibility, |
you never had it hard, but now it’s getting tough, |
so you (whine! whine! whine!) and you say you’ve had enough. |
You say I’m full of shit, that I’m a hypocrite |
I shouldn’t talk when I can’t take the advice that I give, |
Well maybe you’re right, but open your eyes: |
the main difference here is that I (try! try! try!) |
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh. |
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh. |
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh. |
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh. |
