High IQ, loaded dad Private schools, brand new Jag The future is so bright, you're wearing shades inside You feel lost, don't know why Hallmark ads make you cry All these expectations crowd your mind at night Now you're looking to the world to save you Feel internally unique Brother, I hardly blame you For falling asleep
(Chorus) Tear up your certificates And throw them to the sea Let's reclaim our innocence And live in harmony We can leave the past behind And make a brand new start Walk out of this lion's den Before we're torn apart
Pretty face, long brown hair Slender waist, how they stare A ring around your finger And a pain inside You feel lost, don't know where He goes at night, but he's not there You stay up and remind yourself that life's not fair 'Cause you thought he was the one to save you But he's really nothing like your dad Sister, I can hardly blame you For feeling mad
(Chorus)
The sun goes down around us We smile at naught, but we walk alone We lie here waiting for the ancient fear To loosen it's hold
