Idiot Proverbs -

My teachers at school had us eat from their spoons

And smiled when they said that we could be anything

Our dreams were obscene, we were gonna be astronauts

Gonna be presidents, live on the silver screen

And I didn’t sink or swim, I just thrashed around the deep end of the pool that

they threw us in

And now we’re Gen Z, we’re broke and depressed

We’re lost in all heck, waiting to shine again

Waiting for our big break

Listening to idiot proverbs

Hoping that it won’t change

But things don’t work exactly that way

The rich become richer, the poor stay the same

The world is your oyster, the price is much pain

You spend most your time, pretending that you’re okay

And if you don’t bend, I bet it breaks you

You try with your mind, good luck, you still lose

You know you know better, for others it might be worse

Life is a blessing and sometimes it’s a curse

You think you’re special 'til your bubbles burst

Do you think that you’re special?

There’s no use complaining, as a matter of fact

You get what you get and don’t get upset

When one door closes, there might not be a next

You might not be so happy, but try to be content

The world doesn’t owe you, it’s not your own fault

Your parents weren’t perfect, your idols were false

And the years fly faster, and soon you lose count

There’s never a time you’ll ever work it all out

There’s never a time you’ll ever work it all out

There’s never a time you’ll ever work it all out

These are just my idiot proverbs

And these are just the things that I say

These are just my idiot proverbs

Sorry to disappoint, you’re born and then you die

If you don’t get cancer, you work until you’re tired

It’s the same damn rut, you’re running out of time

If you’re lucky, you can nap your last twenty years in style
