Who were these people? I just wanna be myself
We break bread with a bunch you'd exchange for canned soup
Embarrassed in action, dancing to prove I'm not a fake
The head's selfish mistake to have something to prove
And you navigated so well
You had them on their knees
You feel so pleased with yourself sat alone in your room
That you cry ‘til your clothes were soaked through
Ahoo hoo hoo hoo hooo
It's all that he knows
Watching the tree as it grows into something brand new
He goes out, but that's as far as he goes
Too busy changing his clothes and then sharing sad news
Ahoo hoo hoo hoo hooo
It happens every time
Now, we're back at the scene of the crime for one last tune
And you're more concerned with how it sound than what it do
Well, I'm too busy changing the world to care about you
Darling, you're red
I can tell you were made of stronger stuff
But you were more when they trade you for smokes and tattoos
Kill hours with ease, breaking only to please yourself
They call in the priest to get into grad school
Though you never really cared for quiet prayer when we were seventeen
But I'm all alone and you seem
As though the love has left a river in you
Ahoo hoo hoo hoo hooo
It's all that he knows
Watching the tree as it grows into something brand new
He goes out, but that's as far as he goes
Too busy picking his nose and then swearing at you
Ahoo hoo hoo hoo hooo
It happens every time
Now, we're back at the scene of the crime for one last tune
And you're more concerned with how it sound than what it do
Well, I'm too busy changing the world to care about you
What do you know about the people you say you know?
And how did it feel to break the bad news?
Who are your friends even when you don't talk for them?
And who are your friends that you wouldn't dare use?
'Cause I never had the tools to bend the rules and get the windows clean
I just left my home at sixteen
To beat myself down at any excuse
Ahoo hoo hoo hoo hooo
It's all that he knows
Watching the tree as it grows into something brand new
He goes out, but that's as far as he goes
While I'm saving you words 'cause I'm thinking about you
Ahoo hoo hoo hoo hooo
It happens every time
Now, we're back at the scene of the crime for one last tune
And you're more concerned with being heard than being true
Well, I'm too busy changing the world to care about you
