Shufflin' (Radio Edit)

Childhood dreams mostly never age too well
It's a miracle if you're still standing
Some kids crushed it but just as many fell
Found the pace a little too demanding
We go all in so winner takes all
It mostly just depends on who we meet
No one's bullet proof or ten feet tall
In time we learn to land on our feet

It's not in our big encyclopedia
We never hear a peep from the media
The smart money's getting out of town
Our ship is going down
We're shuffling around

For some it's caviar followed by sorbet
More than they could ever hope to spend
I could bitch about their privilege forever ana day
But they still going To have it in the end
Grateful for the little things that come my way
Cos it was so damn hard for those before
A meal by a fire with the people that I love
A curious mind and an open door

I hear that we're all becoming brainier
The first sign of mass megalomania
I read disappointment's here to stay
And eager to obey
They're shuffling away

Bummed out bitterness like a pebble in your shoe
Will color every step you take
Tied and tethered to a past we can't undo
Undercuts the little progress that we make
It's often said that the truth will set you free
Depends on who's deciding what is true
To test if your position and reality agree
Find someone who disagrees with you

It's not in our big encyclopedia
But I hear that we're all becoming brainier
