lyrics

I'm flattered you use my stories to try and come off better
It might be more impressive if I'd actually ever said them
I guess it must be tempting to try and push the rest of us down
When the things you had to offer are slowly falling to the ground

And I'm sure you've done it better
And I'm sure I couldn't care less
And I'm sure you're keen to emphasise
All the things that you possess
And I'm sure we'd get on better
If you weren't so keen to win
You'll rattle around your empty house
And rule it like a king

If young is dumb and worthless and our training you can't trust
Then who are you going to look to, when you start to gather rust?
Have you come to a decision that implies that we're the best?
Just change your mind a couple of times
And let retcon do the rest

And I'm sure you've done it better
And I'm sure I couldn't care less
And I'm sure you're keen to emphasise
All the things that you possess
And I'm sure we'd get on better
If you weren't so keen to win
You'll rattle around your empty house
And rule it like a king

Now I've offered you this tune
As a window to someone else's room
But you won't look through, I know
Because the views contained here aren't your own

And I'm sure you've done it better
And I'm sure I couldn't care less
And I'm sure you're keen to emphasise
All the things that you possess
And I'm sure we'd get on better
If you weren't so keen to win
You'll rattle around your empty house
And rule it like a king
