! Verse 1 w/ VERSE RIFF
I was a young boy that had big plans,
Now I'm just another Shitty old man.
I don't have fun and I hate everything,
The world owes me so fuck you.
! Verse 2 w/ VERSE RIFF
Glory days don't mean shit to me,
I drank a six-pack of apathy.
Life's a bitch and so am I,
The world owes me so fuck you.
! Chorus w/ CHORUS RIFF
Wasted youth and a fistfull of ideals,
I had a young and optimistic point of view.
Wasted youth and a fistfull of ideals,
I had a young and optimistic point of view.
! Verse 3 w/ VERSE RIFF
I've decomposed yet my guts getting fat,
Oh my god I'm turning out like my dad.
I'm always rude, I got a bad attitude,
The world owes me so fuck you.
! Verse 4 w/ VERSE RIFF
The wife's a nag, and the kid's fucking up,
I don't have sex 'cause I can't get it up.
I'm just a grouch, sitting on the couch,
The world owes me so fuck you.
! Chorus
