about

I wrote this recently in light of finishing school, i realized I wanted to make world a better place, i don't want to be rich or famous. But i can't make the world better without working inside the system and the society that i hate. This song is me being a smart ass about the whole thing i have to do but don't want to do.

lyrics

Im a self aware smart ass
Hot girls and fast cars
Give you right of way
But I'm never gonna be like
Hidden in the background
No noise, and no sound
Standing to attention
Always ready to

Conform to everything you say
Please take my rights away
That's o "fucking" k
Im educated and fall that way
And as these thoughts hit my mind
I think it would be so kind
If you'd give me
An easy way out of

Full time minimum wage jobs
And living my with parents
Until I am in my thirties
Working till I'm 85
God its good to be alive
Paying just to survive
In a world I despise

The system is twisted
How can people miss this
The poor are getting fisted
Only by the richest guys
Who pick their profits, passing puny pieces down
But due to controlled inflation
This dwarf hooker is barely value for money

Oh self aware smart ass
Cheap drinks and dodgy bars
Stare at the sky till I see stars
And wish that I could go to mars
I lose the battle because I exist
And life is more than we insist
And it can always make me list
The things that I cannot change

Like everything and everyone
That screw me over for their sum
They its all just for fun
But I guess its not for me
And bankers think its funny
That they lost all our money
But I'm paying up and
I don't get the joke

Surprise government death squad
Lets fuck the left squad
Till there's nothing left for
The stupid undressed mob
Of bigots, blamers, Nazis
They don't give a monkeys
Cause they want a their country
And that concept stumps me

The media is bull shit
Politicians bull shit
Democracy bull shit
But we think we have a say
Our delusion continues on and on
Doesn't amount to any control at all
Let alone saving being able to save that polar bear
that were repeatedly stabbing in the face

Self aware smart ass
Don't need fast cars
Or hot girls for that matter
And if I'm really honest
The only thing I wanted,
Was to make the world a better, place
