Hey AL
When I was a youngster
When I was young enough to dream a number
I could be what I want to be see what I want to see
Then I got told stop boy you're blinding me
You're killing me
You're killing Mr. Reality
Mr. Imagination isn't here for eternity
He's had his time now pack your bags and get on with it
It's time to get it together
You had it made up
Imaginary like a fairy
It's scary to think you're so ordinary
Quite the contrary
I'm fairly
Competent
But I know you don't really give a shit
So this is how I'm going to go about it
Ya bitch
Now listen
Your fishing
Let me pause for intermission
I'm on a mission yes
But it's not possible
Oh wait
I seen it
I dreamed it
And everything else in between
Catch my z's I'm sleeping
Oh God have you got something set aside for me
And it's like
Oh God I'm sorry for the things I've done today
Can you blame me
Hey AL I got no space come back to me
And it's like
Hey AL don't forget to pray you're never too late to save
Alright it's late in the game I know
But this doesn't mean you got to shut me down bro
I got tickets on myself
Trophies on my shelf
A bloody good Monet I painted by myself
When I was three
The teachers called me God's gift
How am I meant to live up to that shit
I told them no
But there is no where to go
When you are so good at what you do
And that was school
But it ended
And at the age of 18 I started to get offended
When I was no longer God's gift
Just a lanky piece of shit
That was up to no good wasn't even making trouble
In my neighbourhood
I was a pretty lame kid
And actually
I didn't have a date for my year 12 dance
I'm sorry India I should've given you another chance
But everything happens for a reason
On that night I was meant to be alone and freezing
Oh God have you got something set aside for me
And it's like
Oh God I'm sorry for the things I've done today
Can you blame me
Hey AL I got no space come back to me
And it's like
Hey AL don't forget to pray you're never too late to save
When I was young enough to dream a number
I could be what I want to be see what I want to see
Then I got told stop boy you're blinding me
