Mama told you everything around is unsafe And papa told you all you're gonna be is a waste Teachers taught you everything is under control And where it got you boy you know you'll never know
Cause it's all endgame, blood all the same Gazing out through empty windows Pack your suitcase, no returning home
Your lovers left you, washed away by the rain Sayin' nothing, only it was time for a change Sitting, stranded, starin' up at the sky Little wonder how life has passed you by
If mama told you yes you're gonna be a star And papa told you son I know that you'll go far And people heard the music from miles around It'd still mean nothing, only make a different sound
