hard to compete (version 2)
You said go You said stay Got so confused I tried to do both So I broke out in a sweat Cashed my check And I spent it to death And it's hard to compete And it's hard to eat When you're beating your teeth on the ground And it's rude Did you ever even think about the impression That you gave to the pigs To the kids With the hazardous waste in their wine And their eyes And their gasoline hormones Accessories accessorising You said go You said stay You said try a combination But I din't even know where to start I was lost I was beige I was over and under my age Like a video Like a chick Like a dead man moving too quick In my way Had no plan Passin' out flyers for some punk rock band From San Diego A freak show It's purposely out of control Soakin' it like a sponge She's tidying up the grunge The expectations were pulsing so pure Over-rated bleakness So hard, so easy to endure 'Cause it's plain and it's real Back to the future Make a new deal With the distortion soundin' fake And the rest of the best was a big mistake So let's cruise Let's freak 'Cause it's payday everyday of the week (Go, baby, go, baby, go).
