Another long night
And now it feels like
I don't know how long
I can hold this together
Go!
So fuck your ideas of wrong and right
I’m tired of letting you control my life
You turned my self-expression
Into the cure for your teenage depression
Wasting the money you say you need
I guess greediness loves company
And it's okay to steal from me
'Cause everything you do is top quality
And where is the heart you claim you have
In all your songs you always talk about it
Here you are just using all your friends
If these people mean anything to you
Then stop mouthing off on them, and stop criticizing everything they do
'Cause you know that they're better than you'll ever be
A public enemy,
Life's easy for you because it comes for free
So don't try to tell me that your music's real
Cause I bet you've never even felt the way we feel
On our own, treading water all alone
Thanks to you we're bought and sold
We're just a product on display
I'm done with being who you want me to be
If you invested your whole life into this
Which you always claim you do
then stop standing behind your rich-ass parents
Who'll do anything, anything for you
There's nothing left to prove
You've broken down and used us
And you know it's true
Know that they're better than you'll ever be,
A public enemy,
Life's easy for you because it comes for free
Don't try to tell me that your music's real
Because I bet you've never even felt the way we feel
On our own, treading water all alone
Thanks to you we're bought and sold
We're just a product on display
I'm done with being who you want me to be
You always write these angry songs
About the people you claimed did you wrong
But you don't even have the guts to say it to their faces
Well here's an angry song for you
The lyrics hurt but they ring true
This isn’t just a chance to prove you’re right
THIS IS MY LIFE
Cause you know that they're better than you'll ever be,
A public enemy,
Life's easy for you because it comes for free
Don't try to tell me that your music's real
Because I bet you've never even felt the way we feel
On our own, treading water all alone
Thanks to you we're bought and sold
We're just a product on display
I'm done with being who you want me to be
