Right, it gets pretty good
But it's still not what you wanted
And you're alone
Forced to compromise
Oh, you're always such a whiner.
It gets pretty good, trust me
You will learn to love your work
But I don't want this bittersweet
Reality you gave me
I am forced, by fear, to love you
And I'm the only one here dreaming.
And you got me so excited
As a kid, I felt invited
But you knew where it would get us
In this predetermined future
And you kept it from the child
Knowing he'd be disappointed
I trust that it gets better
But it's still not what I wanted
Wasted 20's
Broken dreams
And the forces stir up demons
Who will never understand
How they're just properties emergent
And life is bleak
And God is lame, capable of all things
