lyrics

They say you’ve got to go to school
Because that would be real cool
And you can learn to be real smart
Find a girl and settle down
In a semi-detached on the far side of town
Won’t that make your mother so proud

They say these days set you up for life
But this isn’t what I had in mind
Maybe I should do it all again
Instead we go out and get real pissed
Think about all those chances we missed
Wake up the next day just feeling like shit

This life ain’t what it seems
A broken record of tragedy
And I don’t wanna hear that song again

It’s not what they said it would be
It’s way too late you’re in the machine
And you gotta get out you gotta break free

Gotta get married and have a few kids
Just like your dad your dad did
And oh my god you’re such a family man
Give up the fun ‘coz your life’s done
You can’t play games like when you were young
Responsibility’s your new middle name

Now you wear that shirt and that tie
You watch as life passes you by
I’m sorry but I have to say

Give up the fun your life’s done
You can’t play games like when you were young
Responsibility’s your new middle name
