lyrics

Along with age, there comes responsibility
But willingly, I lack response, and that is killing me
It’s as easy as 1-2-3
For some reason I’m one to be at 6 and 7’s, see?
I have the freedom to fulfill my own fortune and destiny
Unfortunately, my apathy gets the best of me

Clever, squander each endeavor

I’m finding that again, again
I’m biting off more than I can chew
But my appetite is never quite satisfied
What should I do?
Is it a glitch in my synthesis
Which turned me into this
Defiant paradigm?
Why won’t I do what I’m told,
And get old?

And I don’t know how I got this way, because it’s not the norm
I gotta choose a play and get a uniform
I need a better coat, a better pair of pants
Cuz you gotta wear a suit to do the song and dance
Maybe this is the way I was made to be
And I should wait ‘til the world acclimates to me

Never, you will wait forever

Then I guess I might as well just play what I’m dealt
If you got a problem put it in your pelvis

I’m finding that again, again
I’m biting off more than I can chew
But my appetite is never quite satisfied
What should I do?
Is it a glitch in my synthesis
Which turned me into this
Defiant paradigm?
Why won’t I do what I’m told,
And get old?

I’m discovering again, again
I’m taking on more than I can pursue
But this non-stop punch clock robot hockshop
Won’t compel me, so you tell me
Why won’t I do what I’m told,
And get old?
I’ll never do what I’m told
And get old.
