I knew it wasn’t gonna be good
didn’t think it would be this bad
i knew you were gonna mess it all up
didn’t think when you did
i would feel so sad
do you know what i’m sayin

i thought that maybe you would clean it
when you finally made it to the big stage
you only really had one job
and it wasn’t to put a kid in a cage
do you know what i'm sayin

you don’t even get it right
when it’s all laid out for you
you don’t even get it right
you don’t even try
you don’t even get it right
every single word untrue
you don’t even get it right
time has passed you by

really this is all on us
the ever so suddenly oppressed
the ones on the right who got conned
and the easily divided left

i know i’m hitting nails on the head
but i don’t want this happening again
i look at the state of the world
