lyrics
I read The Great Gatsby, thought bout bein classy
So I raised up my glassy and told the truth, the gin drippin on my shoes
I read all the papers, the stories, the people
Solved all the puzzles, the words, the numbers
Found pleasure in wastin all my time
This life I'm livin ain't worth a shit
This life I'm livin ain't worth a shit
Steady plannin my escape, day by day
The decade don't matter if age is just a number
Digits are manmade and math ain't my language
I'm talking to nature
Youth is slipping away, but we've got plenty of time
I sought out the highs and crashed all the parties
Thought I could fly, the rush was so charming
The life of a lush, it's gossip, lipstick and blush
It's blurry nights and a sick late lunch, and for what?
Social reruns
This life we're livin ain't worth a shit
This life we're livin ain't worth a shit
We should be planning our escape, day by day
Cause youth is slipping away, and we're wasting all of our time
Not even the babies are safe, but at least we could say we tried
