Over

Cute to see you rabid youths
With your lofty ideals
My names The Man
And I understand
You think you're better than I am
Well I've been round the block
So let's get one thing straight
Your job now
Is to sit down
You've got many notes to take
I know you think what really matters
Is what's on the insides
And you're free to let it matter
Long as you do that in your own time
Cus to feed them you need food
And only money gets a plate
She might learn to love insides
Status gets you that first date

And that's coming if you're ready or not
Death of your dreams
Death of all you thought you'd never give up
Just four
Grey walls
And a regular job
Where you'll despair
And make some profit
Till you wither to dust

Cute to see to see you crazy youths
With all your love and soul
Once I was you
And well I thought the heart
Was all that matters too
But these years have taught me well
So I'll give you a hint
In time you'll have to embrace
All the things you think you hate
See it's all fine and dandy
To be saying loves the greatest
But what if your one and only
Has a taste for finer things
What if she knows someone like you
With private jets and platinum rings
What would you sacrifice
To keep your lovely in your wing

And that's coming if you're ready or not
Death of your dreams
Death of all you thought you'd never give up
Just four
Grey walls
And a regular job
Where you'll despair
And make some profit
'Till you wither to dust

Old man
Blow some steam
Take a trip to Hawaii
Lay on the beach
As you wonder what life could have been
If only she hadn't left you
If you tried harder in school
If you had just a bit longer
If only you'd been more cool

A million thoughts swirling round my head
I'm only eighteen
I already fear the end
That's not to say I really mind the thought of being dead
But I'm in a downward spiral and can't seem to fix this trend
See life slips by
Like a cliff covered in grease
And if all the handles rot
How will I ever find peace
A million thoughts swirling round my head
I'm only 18
I already
I already
I already

Hey partner
Won't you come over
I worry when I'm old
That I'll never be sober
A sad sad man
With the face of an ogre
Remembering the times
Of his happiness, over
Over
Over
Over and over
Again but he'll never get another
Do-over
Another sad man
With regrets, and a hip-flask
He spent his life
Waiting for his jam
While the rest just danced

Hey Mother
Why d'you pass over
I worry when I'm old
I'll just do your path over
50 Sad years
And a self-termination
My offspring headed
For the same destination
Over
Over
Over and over
My kid'll have kids
And they'll never be sober
What a strange heirloom
To pass in your absence
I wouldn't mind a necklace
But trauma, I guess works

Big sibling
Won't you come hold me
I have so many friends
But I'm feeling so lonely
It's getting hard to care
About like anyone
That ain't me
I'm going so cold
Man it really is creepy
Scary
Frightening
Biting
It's biting
Chomping away
At the loving and warm me
I worry that I'm losing
My humanity
And you see
Once it's gone
I'm not sure
That I'll ever get it back

Hey partner
Won't you come over
I worry when I'm old
That I'll never be sober
A sad sad man
With the face of an ogre
Remembering the times
Of his happiness - over
Over
Over
Over and over
Again but he'll never get another do-over
Another sad man
With regrets, and a hip-flask
He spent his life
Waiting for his jam
While the rest just danced
