You’ll never live down that living up
Full grown man, never grew up
Life’s a game you cannot cheat
Lowest lows and times so sweet
Smoke and mirrors, shiny glare
Reflecting off a glassy stare
Watch out boys you best beware
Expanding gut and thinning hair
Body gone beyond repair
Run out on a youth now gone
So alone, so forlorn
Find that slot where you best fit
Amidst bureaucracy and corporate shit
The noose around your neck’s a tie
Hand wraps the knife, back of the other guy
Climb the ladder, feel the rungs
Bittersweet taste permeates your tongue
Ballads of you will be sung
Make the x, the mark and then your done
Washed up ocean meets the sand
Knife cut deep the other man
Trophies, trinkets wind up watch
Grab opportunity by the crotch
Smoke and mirrors, shiny glare
Reflecting off a glassy stare
Watch out boys you best beware
Expanding gut and thinning hair
Body gone beyond repair
Have you ever wondered what life could be
If we seized the opportunity
God I wish that we were free?
If life wasn’t an obscenity
Think of the man you want to be
Everything is contrary
Snowball, crash down with the system
The power pushed out like a piston
Dancing on a mountain top
Go hard baby ‘till you drop
You’ve taken enough of their slop
It’s time for living
You’ll never live down that living up
An old man, never grew up
Life’s a game you cannot cheat
Bottom bash, and times so sweet
Smoke and mirrors, shiny glare
Reflecting off a glassy stare
Watch out boys you best beware
Expanding gut and thinning hair
Body gone beyond repair
Who ever said that life was fair
Washed up ocean grinds the sand
Knife cut deep the other man
Trophies, trinkets fountain pen
Grab opportunity, won’t come again
Smoke and mirrors, silver glare
Reflecting off your greying hair
Watch out boys you best beware
Expanding gut and thinning hair
Body gone beyond repair
Have you ever wondered what life could be
If we snagged that opportunity
God I wish that we were free
If life wasn’t an obscenity
Think of the man you want to be
Life needn’t be sheer misery
Snowball, pause, feel the thaw
The beauty’s there beneath the fog
Nietzsche on a mountain top
Into the abyss you or will you stop?
Super man takes no slop
It’s time for living now
