You were the one that got me
All of these things you taught me now
Been strangled by the TV, how could it be so easy?
Rose colored glasses for the past
Glory days they never last
You got away, you manage
You’re still out here taking damage

Do you feel lost? (lost your head) Are you headed for a wall?
Switching sides (cuz Simon said) cuz what you said, it says it all
When you swim (you swim with sharks) it’s a sharper sort of hurt
On your knees (an easy mark) sink your teeth into the dirt
Are you necessary?

You start your big finale
Some peanut circus rally cap
Surprise! the kids ain’t calling
They’ve lost hope and now they’re stalling
You consult the actuary, still a couple years, not very long
To be this always angry, to be so sure and still so wrong
