I don’t envy…
Your situation
Your obligation
Trying not to choke as you say…
“Whatever you want! Whatever you want! Whatever you want!”
How does it feel to serve the ones who make you hate your life,
While knowing deep down you’ve got no one to blame but you?
Do you even know yourself anymore?
Go ‘head and sell your self respect
Let someone else reap what you’ve sown
But you’re on your own
Give them a round of applause
Let them keep sinking their claws into your head
I guess your dignity is finally dead
Please remind me…
What is it you do here?
Exactly who are you, again?
Cause all I’ve heard so far is
“Hey, you’re doing great champ! Everybody loves you!”
You don’t seem too useful
You’re not…
The least bit competent
But hey, what do I know?
You do you
I’m just a fly on the wall.
Do you even know yourself anymore?
Go ‘head and sell your self respect
Let someone else reap what you’ve sown
But you’re on your own
Give them a round of applause
Let them keep sinking their claws into your head
But I’d rather kill myself instead
You’re not above reproach
You’ve become the thing you hate the most
Walking an endless road, hoping your efforts show
So many years you’ve spent chasing a compliment
It matters not to them if you’re alive or dead
No hope for hearts of men who care for none but them
Go ‘head and sell your self respect
Let someone else reap what you’ve sown
But you’re on your own
Give them a round of applause
Let them keep sinking their claws into your head
I guess your dignity is finally dead
Walking an endless road, hoping your efforts show
So many years you’ve spent chasing a compliment
It matters not to them if you’re alive or dead
The lives of man breed malcontent, when wrought with sycophants
