If I Had Toothpicks for Fingers Video (MV)

Well I'm tired of trying
For things that always come easy
To everyone except for me
When I work real hard
And work towards nothing
I get nowhere I've got to cheat
And if there's a spot by a smart kid then I'll fill the seat
And if cheaters never win
Well it's time for me to give up
And time for me to start giving in

Did I hear someone say purpose
And did I hear direction
Because if I did I'll have one little correction
The word would be nervous
And it would be infection
I've got no more walls for protection
But you say that everything will work out great
And I feel the pulse from every explosion
From every requirement that I've come to hate
So where is the easy way out (where is the easy way out)
Someone forgot to install the self-destruct button
And they'd better be losing their job
Because all I ever wanted was a little break

And I'll decide to waste away my life
I'll never make money
And the roof on my house will be sky
And I'll bum food off all of my friends
Who would rather that I had some other friends
