We're never satisfied
Not with what we have, nor with what we do
So we're happy to whine and complain
Without ever trying to gain
The bottom rung of the ladder
It's a pretty good place
For those who want to
make faces
It's not easy to smile sincerely
When there's no one else smiling.
Maybe I'll go see the fight,
Maybe you defend yourself well.
I've never hit anyone in the face,
And without understanding why,
I want for you to hit me
and for me to reply (i.e. hit back)
for us to embrace
then back away
You're handsome, you're good, and you've got talent
But you look like an idiot and you don't know why,
So you are content to stylize
your solitude, to amuse yourself. (?)
You fall for a girl with two faces
Wearing a two hundred dollar thong.
It's not easy to smile sincerely
When there's no one else smiling.
