lyrics

How come every time I try to get ahead
You conjure up a million ways to stop me
And then you presume to tell me what's best
Though I can safely say that's not for me

How come every time I feel so inspired
And want nothing more than to do my best
You point out that it's easier to deceive
Why do you make it hurt to be honest

You have these issues with my will
Must be one hell of a pill to swallow
You try to take it all away
I don't know what to say about you
'Cause the joke's on you

How come every time I mean to return
After an appallingly short hiatus
You seek to subdue me and all my friends
You do everything you can to sedate us

But then every time you think you've put me down
I think of ways to mold it to my style
If nothing else, that's what I like to do
I take your shit, and I make it all worthwhile

You have these issues with my will
Must be one hell of a pill to swallow
You try to take it all away
I don't know what to say about you
'Cause the joke's on you
