Dalmatrix - Look The World In The Eye lyrics

That is no excuse for your behavior
You think you know it all, don’t you?
You’re 25 years old
You’re a baby, you don’t know shit
Look, I know what’s fair, okay?
I know what’s right
Look, I was young too, I felt just like you
I put up with the tyrants, the yellers, the screamers
I’ve got more than you can even imagine in that small mind of yours
So don’t come preaching to me with your ideas of what’s fair
You’re no martyr here, you’re no hero
You’re just a fuckin’ hypocrite
Because there are no storybook romances, no fairy tale endings
Because out here it’s kill your parents, fuck your friends
And have a nice day
Before you run out and change the world, ask yourself:
What do you really want?

Your scream is burning through my veins

Sooner or later
You’re gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw my life away
Driving me under
Leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw my life away

Go ahead and throw your life away

And on and on [3x]
And on and on and on

Throw my life away

And on and on [3x]
And on and on and on
[2x]

Throw my life away

And on and on [3x]
And on and on and on

Sooner or later
You’re gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw my life away
Driving me under
Leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw my life away

Go ahead and throw your life away

And I’m too unemployed to organize a union
I’m too intoxicated to tear down a building
I’m too hopeless to look for a solution
I’m afraid that if I found one
I’d be out of excuses

I waste away in gutters that I chose
Like fashion accessories to go with my dirty clothes
I haven’t bathed in months but you know it’s not because
I’ve been fighting bourgeois morals
I’m just lazy and I’m young

’Cause I’m afraid to look the world
In the eye
If nothing’s gonna change, well then
I’d rather die

‘Cause I’m afraid to look the world
In the eye
If nothing’s gonna change, well then
I’d rather throw my life away

‘Cause I’m afraid to look the world
In the eye
If nothing’s gonna change, well then
I’d rather die
[2x]

‘Cause I’m afraid to look the world
(Sooner or later, you’re gonna hate it)
In the eye
(Go ahead and throw my life away)
If nothing’s gonna change, well then
(Driving me under, leaving me out there)
I’d rather die
(Go ahead and throw my life away)

If there’s gotta be something more
Than lying in the front yard, naked, screaming at the constellations
(Go ahead and throw my life away)
I want something more than an apology to say
When I look the world in the eye
I’ll tell you, man
