When I was a kid And the family walls were falling I remember thinking it would all be okay If I could just learn to wall kick Stick the landing, while the world was crumbling, I look for applause for still standing But the truth is they don't see you for standing strong Just enjoy the scene when that strength is gone Disgree, I'm asking you to prove me wrong.
Show me the story of your high school friend who made it Not the hundred that stayed in the mould and faded Show me the car crash that was evaded, The hero, who's past wasn't completely exploited, The victim that didn't end up on that stage desserted, But no, that human nature is too perverted. Forget the man saved, here's more on the murderer News casters will give you the gritty details like sheep herders
Maybe your world isn't simple to fix, Just keep working, this life has no tricks At the end of the day, you know what makes you tick But before the world came crashing I learned to wall kick So while the struggle is as real As the wheel you steer, keep screaming until the deaf even hear
True story, when my parents were splitting up was right around the time Mario 64 came out and my father was the only one at the time who could wall kick in the game. For some reason it seemed like the most important thing in the world to a very young me.
