Give Up Your Dreams

We've been stuck together in awkward situations
sitting in the back of the van
talking smack then take it back
then wonder if you can
get up and walk out on this catastrophic career

for a moment

You've been painting pictures, I've been writing jingles
bloggin', makin' movies and worse
conceptualising for a laugh
then selling it's a curse
now we're older, are we even part of the scene

Give up your dreams
can anyone help me, I'm starting to fall apart at the seams
give up your dreams
can anyone help us, someone must be pulling some strings
I'm a loser and I'm losing my belief

Pick a path but never follow it forever
lest you get stuck in a rut
your liberal education won't mean much
when you're drowning in the muck
go grab a pitchfork and stab it in the heart,
all your dreamin'

I've been giving up on all my aspirations
thinkin' 'bout getting a job
how does one transition to a mortal from a God?
ain't gonna make it so let's break up and move on

Give up your dreams
can anyone help me, I'm starting to fall apart at the seams
give up your dreams
can anyone help us, someone must be pulling some strings
I'm a loser and I'm losing my belief

Don't let anyone tell you that you're special
don't let anyone tell you that all your dreams will come true
don't let anyone say that the world is your oyster
the world is not an oyster
the world is a cold, dark planet floating through infinite space
on a ceaseless journey to its own destruction
and all we can do about it is be alright about things and get on with stuff
you're not a loser
you're a human
and I love you
I love you
