Lyrics Give Up Your Dreams - The Phoenix Foundation

Give Up Your Dreams

We’ve been stuck together in awkward situations
Sittin' in the back of a van
Talking smack then take it back
Then wonder if you can
Get up and walk out
On this catastrophic career
For a moment
You’ve been painting pictures
I’ve been writing jingles
Blogging, making movies, and worse
Conceptualizing for a life
Then selling it’s a curse
Now we’re older
Are we even
Part of the scene
Give up your dreams
Can anyone help me
I’m starting fall apart at the seems
Give up your dreams
Can anyone help us
Someone must be pulling some strings
I’m a loser
And I’m losing my belief
Pick a part
But never
Follow it forever
Lest you get
Stuck in a rut
Your liberal education
Won’t mean much
When you’re drowning in the mud
Go grab a pitchfork
And stab it
In the heart
All your dreamin'
I’ve been giving up
On all my aspirations
Thinkin' 'bout gettin' a job
How does one transition to
A mortal from a god?
Ain’t gonna make it
So let’s break up
And move on
Give up your dreams
Can anyone help me
I’m starting fall apart at the seems
Give up your dreams
Can anyone help us
Someone must be pulling some strings
I’m a loser
And I’m losing my belief
Don’t let anyone tell you
That you’re special
Don’t let anyone tell you
That all your dreams will come true
Don’t let anyone say
That the world is your oyster
The world is not an oyster
The world is a cold
Dark planet floating through an infinite space
On a ceaseless journey to its own destruction
And all we can do about it
Is be alright about things
And get on with stuff
You’re not a loser
You’re a human
And I love you
I love you
Give up your dreams (x4)
I’m a loser
And I’m losing my belief
Give up your dreams
Can anyone help me
I’m starting fall apart at the seems
Give up your dreams
Can anyone help us
Someone must be pulling some strings
I’m a loser
And I’m losing my belief
