The Coddled Kids are living on their fragile lies Caught up with their kitsch suburban suicides Pleasured by the pressure to just succumb To obedience till they resent who they've become They start to seek the chic mystique when they're alone In their isolated antiquated quite homes Ecstatically escape the fate they're burdened by They'll take a hit now they can't quit until they die And I'm so sick of it Yeah no one can admit That this how it should end Do we have to pretend That he looks like a man I just call him my friend Or I would but I can't I don't mean to be crass But get the fuck off your ass Since you're gathered en masse Raise your rose colored glass If you wanna pretend Your bratty boys and gaudy girls are so good Personified perfection of your parenthood I bet you never thought they'd end up like you The cynical citizens who can't take the truth They're Coping with a codone to ease the pain Synthesize and sodomize your tired brains They'll internalize parental lies and get hooked too Then the coddled kids are laid to bed at 22 And I'm so sick of it Seeing kids in the shit Now they're a part of the trend Do we have to pretend That he looks like a man I just call him my friend Or I would but I can't Drop dimes on his eyes for me Lining up just you wait and see Just another plague to society Guess who's next Guess who's next it's me! Drop the facade that disguises your shame For if placed in their shoes you would end up the same Your tongues are all forked from withholding intention You profess your sorrows, but you fail to mention You filled all your glasses with a life that ran crimson You sip at it now with rose tinted admissions You chose to ignore him till he cried out to the end So don't sit here now and don't fucking pretend Do we have to pretend That he looks like a man I just call him my friend Or I would but I can't Do we have to pretend? Do we have to pretend? Do we have to pretend? Do we have to pretend? I'm next you're next we're all fucking next
