Mr. President - The Teeth

I had a decade long to figure out how I would say

I earned my two degrees then took the time to throw it away

I’m not complaining and I don’t feel like a disgrace

I don’t owe you anything, I wish you could see your face

I spent a year or two just cleaning up the mess that I made

Things steady after a while then I just rinse and repeat

Will I bail before the engines fail?

I’ll pack my bags, I can’t be reasoned with

I know what you’re thinking, «I can’t hear anymore.»

Let it be a lesson, You get what you pay for

This town, It put taste in my mouth

If it’s poison, no sense in spitting it out

It may sound like I’ve been making all the wrong choices

It’s not that bad

I’m broke as shit.

This is one hell of a way to live

I made a sacrifice, it might end up ruining my life

But I feel alive

Think of me when you wear that shirt and tie

I spent a year or two just cleaning up the mess that I made

Things steady after a while then I just rinse and repeat

We’ve had to crawl, roll with the punches ready to go

You need to know what to expect if you want to grow

Forget regret

I’ve lived it once, I’d do it again

No family, No friends

A broken heart is all you get

The odds are set

We’re betting blind all over again

If you’ve got the chips, place your fucking bets…

This town it put a taste in my mouth

If it’s poison, go on and swallow it down

Poison… swallow it down.
