First Single off our upcoming first full length studio album.
lyrics
in school I broke the rules
cause they weren't meant for me (not made for me)
short fuse; I lost my cool
when obstacles got in my way
outcast; the freak in class
I didn't give a damn (I never did)
I smashed their jaws of glass
rejected kid with balls of brass
I've tried so long
for a better life
but nothing has changed
I've tried, so long
I'm getting out of here
patterns rearranged
but it's all the same
I think I know what to do
but I've just been short changed
I've grown, I'm on my own
the problem wasn't school (my attitude)
time's shown and now know
apply myself, don't act a fool
adhered to my career
I take the same old shit (watch your mouth)
I hear ya loud and clear
to hell with you because I quit
I've tried so long
for a better life
but nothing has changed
I've tried, so long
just get me out of here
patterns rearranged
but it's all the same
I don't like to be short changed (woah-oh-oh-oh)
I'm tryin'
to find my way
to better days
life's so short
so make it count
figure it out
turn the page
it reads the same
(doomy instrumental)
(I've tried so long)
for a better life
but nothing has changed
(I've tried, so long)
for a better life
(but nothing has changed)
but nothing has changed
just get me out of here (woah-oh-oh-oh)
I think I know what to do (woah-oh-oh-oh)
I know what to do
I've tried so long
(tried for so long)
I've tried so long
(tried for so long)
but it's all the same
(I've tried so long)
