Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just another shitty old man
I don't have fun, and I hate everything
[Refrain]
The world owes me, so fuck you
[Verse 2]
Glory days don't mean shit to me
I drank a six pack of apathy
Life's a bitch, and so am I
[Refrain]
The world owes me, so fuck you
[Chorus]
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
[Verse 3]
I've decomposed, yet my gut's getting fat
Oh my God, I'm turning out like my dad
I'm always rude, I've got a bad attitude
[Refrain]
The world owes me, so fuck you
[Verse 4]
The wife's a nag, and the kid's fucking up
I don't have sex 'cause I can't get it up
I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch
[Refrain]
The world owes me, so fuck you
[Chorus]
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
Till I grew up
[Verse 5]
I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just another shitty old man
I don't have fun, and I hate everything
[Refrain]
The world owes me, so fuck you
[Verse 6]
Glory days don't mean shit to me
I drank a six pack of apathy
Life's a bitch, and so am I
[Refrain]
The world owes me, so fuck you
[Outro]
The world owes me, so fuck you
The world owes me, so fuck you
