Why is it I'm always cryin' and constantly lyin'
Telling people I'm sane but I'm not
Please her please him
Always show that grin
You are weak until you win
That's the American dream rule number two
Politicians pave the plague filled streets
With their charm and warm interpretations and laws
About the mortal coil that control you and hold you
Right down to your weak incestual bones
Martyrs are marching in the streets while I'm here in the sheets
Watching dust float around
Without a sound
Waitin' for the day when I am finally gone
Withered away in the freshly dug up ground
No one ever told you
No one ever tells you
How hard it is till you eventually
Find out on your own
If life is so hard
Why do you got it down
Make the money pay the rent
Don't ever be in debt
At the end of the day you can trust your government
But hey don't forget to pay your taxes fool
Time ticks on with a rhyme
It isn't kind
You aged like a lime
Rottin' in the sun
Be original they say
Do things your own way
But then what do you say to them
When you see everything's been done
Do you believe in free will
Take the red or the blue pill
If it's a simulation why all the mutilation
If it's a program can't you
Code numbers to get along
No one told you
No one ever tells you
How hard it is till you eventually
Find out on your own
War's being fought
Over who's rich and who's not
Frack you frack him you say with a grin
But soon the taste of blood begins to seep in
And in your testimony you are labeled a sin
Because everything you reap must eventually be sown
World peace is less likely than a fab four sequel
False ego from a nation solely run by the people
In god we trust we put it right on the money
But read it upside down
It says something smells kinda funny
Relationships start fading
You can read between the lines
Your parents aren't friends
It's just a contract they signed
Emotions, love, and sex are ammunition for battle
Whoever comes out on top
Keeps the waterfront condo in Seattle
Cause when you're eighteen
It's graduate and be seen
Major this and minor problem
It doesn't make you happy
So you lie to yourself
Say it's all fine and dandy
Do I tell mom and daddy their child is a fantasy
Wait never-mind cause they're still the ones that are payin' my bills
No one ever told you
And no one ever tells you
How hard it is till you eventually
Find out on your own
