lyrics

Tell me what it’s like to be better than everyone. Every time you speak you have to shoot me down. Some times I think that it’s going to be alright but you’ve got to be the one to tell me I’m wrong. Always find fault in what I do. You can’t see anything but the chance of failure. You’re cynical. You’re arrogant. Your attitude, I’m sick of it. i don’t need you or your self righteous criticism.

You’re a defeatist. I don’t need this. You’re an elitists. I don’t need you.
You’re a defeatist. I don’t need this. You’re an elitists. I don’t need you.

Raining on my parade gives you some satisfaction like you’re superior because you’ve given up the fight. Maybe I should be more like you because you’ve done so well with you’re own pathetic situation.

Don’t tell me what it’s like to be better than everyone. Better yet don’t speak. I don’t want to hear you’re mouth. Your textbook intellect can’t replace experience. I see right through you and I’m not the only one. I’ve been you and then I grew out of it. What makes you think you would know better than me? I don’t have the patience for another empty lesson. Who the fuck are you? Who do you think you are?

You’re a defeatist. I don’t need this. You’re an elitists. I don’t need you.
You’re a defeatist. I don’t need this. You’re an elitists. I don’t need you.
