Deadbeat - The Ocean Party

He’s never seen me, he’s never heard my life

I bet I could convince him this one troubled time

I got my story down and keep my head up

I form a lie of sound, throwing money in my cup

Should I feel this way?

You don’t respect me

It’s not just me to blame, I’m neglected

I should have finished school, you call me a deadbeat

It’s not as easy as it seems, but you’ll never be me

Wondering if you think art isn’t a job to support you

I’m savin' for a car, I can’t help you too

Take this as a lesson, pull yourself up off the ground

You’re lookin' like a mess now, you should be spat out by this town

You should feel this way, I don’t respect you

You’ve got yourself to blame, don’t feel neglected

You should have finished school, you’re a deadbeat

It’s as easy it’s seems, 'cause you’ll never be me

You’ll never be me

(You'll never be me)
