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)
