I Wish I

Talk about ugliness behind a smiling face

Talk about accomplishments that have gone to waste

Talk about lies and talking shit

You should be ashamed

You sing about togetherness and a way to live

You sing about the help you're not about to give

You sing about your enemies and you sing about yourself

You should be ashamed

I wish I could take you and shake you

I wish I could smack the blindness

From your beady little eyes

Shout about your anger, you scream about your rage

And then you shut your mouth because your age

Complete the circle

Oh, you should be ashamed

You dream about a purpose and a reason to exist

You dream about the love that everyone missed

Throw your dreams away and join the frightened world

You should be ashamed

I wish I could take you and shake you

I wish I could smack the blindness

From your beady little eyes

You should be ashamed

You should, you should

You should be ashamed

I wish I

I wish I

I wish I

I wish I

Didn't have to sing this song

'Cause you know I know it's wrong
