lyrics

So it turns out I should've gone Oxford, should’ve gone Cambridge, should've shown promise,
Should've listened to my teachers dropped my dreams, worked hard and stayed in college,
But you teach an agenda of outdated policies and recycled knowledge,
I think I speak for us all when I say, with respect “that's enough of your bollocks”,
I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'm just the realist realist,
I'm not trying to protect anyone, i'm just trying to make you fearless.

Maybe if I was a little better looking I could be a pop star,
Or maybe if I sold my soul I could be a pop tart.

Everything I do is left, 'coz it just ain’t right,
And the shit it keeps on coming, keeps, keeps, keeps,
Keeps on coming.

“It's like nobody understands what I'm trying to do,
Maybe i'm just deluded”

They’re like “Jack, Jack you're a 'wasteman' go back to school and get a degree man”
“Jack go get married son, go have kids and go be normal son”.
“You're living in a dream, a far-fetched reality and it's gonna haunt you when you’re 30”

Maybe I'm overdue a reality check, maybe I need to wake up,
If I'm just a dreamer then my life's better with my eyes shut.

“HA HA HA”.
