It was the age of self diagnosis We were so liberal with our doses Self important and indignant Crashing cars our dads taught us to drive in In the time between degrees and employment We were in no hurry for its procurement Were told "to be part of something" More than this job I hate More than this debt that won't go away And so I made myself scum To make myself someone Who's experienced every failing And could then explain oblivion And it's been gnawing at my brain If you knew, what I knew when it started It never would have started If you knew, that you never should've bothered You never would've bothered In this world that's constantly changing If you're not improving, you're fading fast That's all I wanted to do Then I met you So if you think you're too drunk to call me I'm probably too drunk to fall asleep And when you're in that state Do you hate me? Do you blame me? Cause it's been gnawing at my brain If you knew, what I knew when it started It never would have started If you knew, that you never should've bothered You never would've bothered Now I'm switching to light beer To make my twelve beer affairs A slightly smaller ordeal Do you hate me? Do you blame me? Cause it's been gnawing at my brain If you knew, what I knew when it started It never would have started If you knew, that you never should've bothered You never would've bothered
