You, you try, you try to get by
You're never going to pull it off
You shouldn't even try
You're a wet cigarette, you're always second best
But they're never going to give a shit
About anybody but themselvesSo you fight for them to realize
There's more to life, there's more to you
There's more than meets the eye
And when you're done the battle's been won
You sit back, you smile
And this is what you hum, you humWhoa, whoa, whoa
