Celebration of Mediocrity
Fell for another way, for a different life
One that doesn't take a piece of me
Every minute lost, every moment gone
More reminders there's no going back
There's no turning back
Life down at rock bottom, every day long
Every night cold down to the bone
Can't get much worse, living for now
Tomorrow comes with no guarantee
A celebration of mediocrity
A song for all of us so ordinary
We're kept in cages, unable to move
Held down in entry level purgatory
They say we bring our own fires with us to hell
But the blaze was burning long before we fell
We reward the average every day
Nothing real comes without pain
Anyone can be anything, with the right family
Giving you everything, exceptional pedigree
Fell down hard once again, always on the ground
Nothing's easy that's worth fighting for
Every minute lost, every moment gone
More reminders there's no going back
There's no turning back
Life down at rock bottom, tedium prevails
Repetition, every day's the same
Put on a show, perform the routine
Tomorrow comes with no guarantee
A celebration of mediocrity
A song for all of us so ordinary
Held to the ground, pinned down by a boot
Pull yourself up by bootstraps that were never given to you
They say we bring our own fires with us to hell
But the blaze was burning long before we fell
We reward the average every day
Nothing real comes without pain
There's nothing wrong with being nothing
There's nothing wrong with having nothing
Sometimes we fly, sometimes we crash
The freedom of coming in dead fucking last
Starving to death, next to a high rise
Take a last breath, while they continue to thrive
We're out here dying in the street
One that doesn't take a piece of me
Every minute lost, every moment gone
More reminders there's no going back
There's no turning back
Life down at rock bottom, every day long
Every night cold down to the bone
Can't get much worse, living for now
Tomorrow comes with no guarantee
A celebration of mediocrity
A song for all of us so ordinary
We're kept in cages, unable to move
Held down in entry level purgatory
They say we bring our own fires with us to hell
But the blaze was burning long before we fell
We reward the average every day
Nothing real comes without pain
Anyone can be anything, with the right family
Giving you everything, exceptional pedigree
Fell down hard once again, always on the ground
Nothing's easy that's worth fighting for
Every minute lost, every moment gone
More reminders there's no going back
There's no turning back
Life down at rock bottom, tedium prevails
Repetition, every day's the same
Put on a show, perform the routine
Tomorrow comes with no guarantee
A celebration of mediocrity
A song for all of us so ordinary
Held to the ground, pinned down by a boot
Pull yourself up by bootstraps that were never given to you
They say we bring our own fires with us to hell
But the blaze was burning long before we fell
We reward the average every day
Nothing real comes without pain
There's nothing wrong with being nothing
There's nothing wrong with having nothing
Sometimes we fly, sometimes we crash
The freedom of coming in dead fucking last
Starving to death, next to a high rise
Take a last breath, while they continue to thrive
We're out here dying in the street
