Derision ain¡¯t so bad, it makes me glad I¡¯m tougher
|
For failing all that I have...
|
Take the map and tear it up
|
We¡¯ll find our way anyway.
|
We¡¯d never gotten this far if we¡¯d followed the road.
|
If you listen close to most advice you¡¯ll never get anywhere.
|
Take it from myself because, boy, I ought to know.
|
I was the kindergarten kid with wrinkled clothes.
|
I dreaded school more than the chicken pox and so I¡¯d go:
|
¡°Hey Mom, I¡¯m really feeling sick,
|
A bit feverish and I know
|
That if I go to school today,
|
I¡¯ll probably die on the way from this cold!¡±
|
Take the map and tear it up
|
We¡¯ll find our way anyway.
|
We¡¯d never gotten this far if we¡¯d followed the road.
|
If you listen close to most advice you¡¯ll never get anywhere.
|
Take it from myself because, boy, I ought to know.
|
¡¯69 Malibu and a date I should have missed.
|
Warm beer and time to kill and a girl to share it with.
|
It¡¯s really late, I sneak around to the gate
|
To bust her out the window
|
Wearing lots of black and blending in to all the shadows.
|
We spend half of the night getting into a fight.
|
I wanna make up and she goes:
|
¡°Will you take me home?¡± (NO!)
|
Let¡¯s hear it for derision, for indecision,
|
Let¡¯s hear it for failure. (repeat)
