lyrics

I can't begin to explain everything
if you could see the things I see you'd know
why force-feed somethin' you know won't grow

round and round you go
on the floor you go no where fast

Do you really want
to spend the rest of your life
wondering if this is really over

You can find another drummer
find someone who can take all your shitty poems and turn them into gold

I do what you want, I do what you can't
do what you want, I'm gone, I'm done wit it

When you crash, you will regret it
but keep in mind, there's always someone else
who has something to hide
if you scream, I am not gonna listen
I'm not gonna have it, I'm not your victim

shake it, shake it, shake it, a little bit (x3)
shake it so you can shake it, a little bit

did you really expect to be recognized
for the under-achievements of your life

you expect praise for behaving normal
call when you're crying, call when you're sad
don't call when you're happy, don't call when it goes your way

you expect praise for behaving normal (x2)
call when you're crying, call when you're sad
don't call when you're happy, don't call when it goes your way

Do you really want
to spend the rest of your life
wondering if this is really over (x2)

If you will never open your eyes,
as I guess it's good-bye
hey good try man not everyone has what it takes

When you crash, you will regret it
but keep in mind, there's always someone else
who has something to hide
if you scream, I am not gonna listen
I'm not gonna have it, I'm not your victim

why force-feed somethin' you know won't grow

round and round you go
on the floor you go no where fast

If you pray
only if you pray
only if you pray
If you pray
only if you pray
