Cookie Cutter Life
There's one thing you may not understand
I thought when I grew up, I'd be a better man
Some will wanna beg for food
Others will have an attitude
No one wants to choose their fate
Our lives are all an empty slate
I don't want a wife and kids
With a white picket fence
That dream is dead to me
And it never made sense
Be patient with your screaming children
While they're attached to your hip
When you miss when it was boring
The cookie-cutter lifestyle
Is not the life for me
And even with your family, you're so lonely
If we went back in time
Would we both change our minds?
And when we wake up, we wait for a sign
Be patient with your screaming children
While they're attached to your hip
When you miss when it was boring
The cookie-cutter lifestyle
Is only fun for a while
You're lying to yourself just to get by
You're still waiting on a chance
Don't pretend why
You gave up on your life
You won't take my advice
So stop pretending you're alright
I thought when I grew up, I'd be a better man
Some will wanna beg for food
Others will have an attitude
No one wants to choose their fate
Our lives are all an empty slate
I don't want a wife and kids
With a white picket fence
That dream is dead to me
And it never made sense
Be patient with your screaming children
While they're attached to your hip
When you miss when it was boring
The cookie-cutter lifestyle
Is not the life for me
And even with your family, you're so lonely
If we went back in time
Would we both change our minds?
And when we wake up, we wait for a sign
Be patient with your screaming children
While they're attached to your hip
When you miss when it was boring
The cookie-cutter lifestyle
Is only fun for a while
You're lying to yourself just to get by
You're still waiting on a chance
Don't pretend why
You gave up on your life
You won't take my advice
So stop pretending you're alright
