I'm Okay!

The house that I grew up in isn't the house that I remember

Because the house that I grew up in it used to seem much bigger

And the yard I used to get lost in

When I was just a little kid

Became the yard I got drunk in

With all my friends before I left for college

And the house that you grew up in isn't the house that you remember

Because the house that you grew up in got sold in a foreclosure

All the cars and fancy things

Were bought with money that you never really had

So when the market tanked it all got taken from you by the banks

And our parents just don't get it yeah they're so out of touch

Cause they grew up in days of picket fences and entry level jobs

While half my friends i went to college with

Just scraping by with half as much

Thinking our degrees our useless if everybody has one and

Hell hath no fury like an entire generation that got

Strung out on heroin because we lost faith in everything

And the friends that I grew up with aren't the friends that I remember

Because the friends that I grew old with know that

The good old days are over dead and gone

Do do do do

I'm okay

There's no sense in mourning over spilled aspirations

Man why are you so sensitive? it's such a fucking bummer

My parents are growing old in the house that i grew up in

And I'm freaking out that half my friends are dead since senior summer

And the drinking on the weekends turned to drinking on the weeknights

And the drinking turned to harder things we didn't see it coming

And my mom is getting lost out in the yard I used to play in

And I know that by next summer she won't recognize my face

I'm not okay

La da da

I'm not okay

I'm tired of this

But hell hath no fury like an entire generation not ashamed

Of working shitty jobs to pay that student loan debt off

And the world that we grow old in

Won't be in the world that we remember

Because we're tearing it down brick by brick

And we're building something different
