lyrics

Alright, excuse me, can you take me to celebrity?
Looks like your hair's straight, let's go
Flashing teeth all night
Well I'm sure they'll be expecting you
Just check your name's not on the list
It seems unlikely you'll be missed out
Oh hi, remember him? The kid, wait, the star
The child of falling out of cars
Into drugs and more guitars
No, why do you ask about his influence?
Just show him to the decadence
No, his throat's a little hoarse tonight

Why does it seem your life
Fails before even you've tried?
You'll get everything you've earned
Dream about tomorrow
Sleeping through today
Wonder who's to blame when
Nothing seems to fall in your way

Your light reflected in the golden streets
No more likely to succeed
Who needs talent looking like you?
God conspires to ruin you with STDs
And trick you into bankruptcy
At least he knows he isn't you

Why does it seem your life
Fails before even you've tried?
You'll get everything you've earned
Dream about tomorrow
Sleeping through today
Wonder who's to blame when
Nothing seems to fall in your

Way? I'm sure
You deserve a lot more
What with all of your
Imagery and minor chords
Trying to carbon
Copy what you can't be
Fairly sure you'll never see
Why you're you and that's not really me

Go find your dad and punch your kin
Go stand on your box and piss into the wind
Do you need to be watched so you can begin?
Or is one eye on your bubble and one on the pin?
You're less convincing in despair
With a petulent pout and flick of your hair
If you think hard work is less than fair
Please, find someone who doesn't have to pretend to care

Why does it seem your life
Fails before even you've tried?
You'll get everything you've earned
Dream about tomorrow
Sleeping through today
Wonder who's to blame when
Nothing seems to fall in your way

Why does it seem your life
Fails before even you've tried?
You'll get everything you've earned
Dream about tomorrow
Sleeping through today
Wonder who's to blame when
Nothing seems to fall in your way

Your life
Fails before even you've tried
You'll get everything you've earned
Dream about tomorrow
Sleeping through today
I wonder who's to blame when
Nothing seems to fall in your way
