The Business of Flies - "The Perils of Being Yound and Idealistic" |
THE PERILS OF BEING YOUNG AND IDEALISTIC: the doctor called / he said our will is weak / you can smell it in the foods we eat / you can taste a little bit of sympathy in every bite / we feel it for the image in our minds / of a starving child with a broken smile / wont you bust out of your skin? / we might just bust out of our skin / and I could die to know the sum of whats within / if we just bust out of our skin / so I might buy myself a pick-me-up / give a bum a twenty / pretend that I had changed the world and drink another forty / I know in the end it all adds up / its all pretend and its all about luck / its all a fake / its all a lie / youll say, What am I even doing here alive? / but now Im starting to sound a little cynical / so Ill just feed on my own advice |
