lyrics

I've been stumbling 'round this dusty old town
An older man is telling me to get out
He says it's ugly and the smell sticks around
And there are a million things to cry about
Come to think of it when I look around
Everyone seems like he'd rather be dead
Too many rules, not a smile to be found
But I think I might catch one if I stand on my head

I'm not wasting my time for this
I'm not standing in line for this, no
I'm not wasting my time for this
I'm not standing in line for this, no

Every moment I've been watching my back
Trying to figure out a plan of attack
Big brother doesn't knock at my door
He wants a battle but he's getting a war
Paranoia is what drives my life
It's like a man behind my back with a knife
I'm not one to go down without a fight
But he's saying he'll stab me if I don't get it right

I'm not throwing my life away
I'll start doing my job today
I'll jump hoops and I'll go to school
Learning loopholes to every rule

I've found something that never ends
The lineup starts on the left, my friends
Come one, come all, see me now
I've become something else somehow
