Kick It Down

You wake up, you blow up,

You had a good run, but now it's work and work sucks

Dropped outta college when they promised Big bucks,

Sun setting on all the perks that you're getting

You're letting em run the show

Don't drink before you sleep then get mad over wet bedding

Superstar for the hour, talent of the day

New kid's coming up hot so you better make way

Forgot to Press play,

Loop the tape, I'm ready for another take

Shake me, I'm awake see, Raising stakes at clam-bakes

I wanna cause an earthquake for Pete's sake

I'm the Picture perfect part of the puzzle, but passing off as apathetic

Indifferent on the surface, so cynical, (I'm) sympathetic to myself

And me alone, a loner looming on his own,

Who said a big head and big heart couldn't cut a classic

Basic instinct, a shred of common decency and some compassion?

I think we're cursing like it's going outta fashion

Gasping outta habit, the last one, gotta have it

Actin out, coz being beautiful ain't keeping the candles lit

And nothing fits, not even a face-lift, 20 grand gift

To yourself, a rubber exoskeleton didn't even help

You can't extend your shelf-life, if you're already sour

Got 15 minutes, now you want the whole damn hour

You're plotting world domination, or at least local dominion

Can't tell what's worse, the collagen or all of your opinions?

Complain your eyes don't open, then pretend that it's your birth face

But in a two-man race against yourself you wouldn't even get third place

Pissed off all the little people and stepping on land mines

Ignoring the signs and the omens, always cutting in line

Spent your time looking to the left and turning a blind eye

If the end's coming tomorrow, I'll be standing on the right side
