Against the World! - Shit Present

Turn my back against the world

Self-important little girl

Might get scared, I might fail

I might go insane

I’ve almost given up

Learning about the brain

Just wake me up when it all ends

I could sleep from now til then

God knows I spend long enough

Lying around the bed

If it’s never gonna end

Can we at least stop playing pretend

'Cause I was looking for it too

But they made it up, that’s what they do

All of these white men in white rooms

Thinking up new ways to take from you

Why don’t you just tell me the truth

While it’s only me and you

How does it feel when you’re alone

What upsets you, and why can’t everyone

Live the way we do

Now you’re screaming slamming doors

Thought you’d be rich but you’re still poor

There’s just more pressure now

Than there ever was before

If it’s never gonna end

Can we at least stop playing pretend

'Cause I was looking for it too

But they made it up, that’s what they do

All of these white men in white rooms

Thinking up new ways to take from you
