My Life Lyrics

Hey there son, don't be so condencanding
take this badge, and wear it for a while
read this book, get to the happy ending and
confince your self that your life is just like it
these are things they try to tell you
to make you turn out fine
just ignore their propaganda and hide
tell them thank you
but this is my life

culture shock they feed you television and
you anxiously await the evening news
youre just like that
you've lost your sense of vision
and you think you free
but you can't tie your own shoes
i've spent the whole thing pretending
living this cartoon lie
but this time i'm gonna get it right
i'll fight this lie
here in my life

long awaited happy endings
never claimed as mine
it served to keep me blind
best laid plans of mice and men
so often go astray
but sometimes work out fine
when the horse come to the gate
and they come to claim whats mine
they can shacle me and beat me blind
i still have my mind
i go tell the world
this is my life
