You're trying to go to sleep, maybe once or twice a week
But it really doesn't matter if you're up or down
The weatherman's had his say, he didn't want to give the game away
So he leaves you guessing and you don't know why
If your friends could see you now, they'd never believe it
They'd just say you got above yourself, it was only a matter of time
You go from town to town with
You go from town to town with
Nobody close around you and
Sit and look for something new to say
But you can't and it gets you down
So you keep your feet firmly on the ground
And you see through all the bullshit cause they'll take it away
If your friends could see you now, they'd never believe you
They'd just say you got above yourself
It was only a matter of time
Do you whine, do you dine
Oh yeah, I do it all the time
It's so nice to be nice
Especially when you could afford
But asking price, you don't laugh, you don't care
You've got the makings of a millionaire
So how does it feel to be on top of the world?
You said you'd paint me a picture
So go on paint it for me now
You said you'd show me the way forward
Show me how to get out
You wanna be a football player
You've got to be in a bind
You've got to do something for it all gets out of hand
But you've got your education and that's all
right for you
So go on get out there
Show me what your degrees can do
You wanna be an astronaut
But it's too underpaid
So instead you'll just sit at home
And slowly fade away
And if your friends could see you now
They'd never believe you
They'd just say you got above yourself
It was only a matter of time
And look well my life doesn't matter






If the world were creativity


Or don't Strafe
I'd act like a Ryan Drus or IDEA
When I'm in trouble
Or I make the impossible


I'm always wandering
And down and I know
You get more and more like your father each day
It's not in your actions, it's the words that you say
You won't win yourself many friends that way
Don't let them grind you down
Temper, temper always goes to your mouth
Cause you shout and you scream
So you don't know what you're on about
And always lose it at the ones you care most about
Don't let them grind you down
If you're drunk then you drink too much
And if you're thought then you think too much
And if you're honest with yourself
Then you're losing
And if you're honest with yourself

Don't touch, no, don't let them grind you down
Don't let them grind you down
