Hey kid, yeah I know where you've been, living in this
And I know what it's like, I believed it
But, don't despair, don't give up

Don't tell them you don't give a f*ck
Cause it's exactly, exactly what they want


Yeah we know the story, yeah I've seen the cycle
Tell everyone it's boring and a waste to try and fight them
Show them it's ok to be an average waste of time

Tell them what to love, and who to fear, and how to die
Tell them that it's hate that solves their problems from day one
Tell them that revenge is just the thing they're counting on

That half a million bodies brings a couple thousand back
That guns and bombs and kamikazes prove their God's the best


Well Hey kid, yeah I know where you've been, living in this
And I know what it's like, I believed it
But, don't despair, don't give up

Don't tell them you don't give a f*ck
Cause it's exactly, exactly what they want


That alcohol and party hard will bring you all the love
That skirts and tats and crooked hats define just who we are
That beauty is only deep as skin and sin will set you free

That common sense, intelligence, and truth will make you bleed
And it's sick the obviously glorified mistakes we make
And it's sick we're all a part of crowds that make us all the same

And it drives me to insanity how far from trust we've come
While liars and the thieves inherit what we have become


Well Hey kid, yeah I know where you've been, living in this
And I know what it's like, I believed it
But, don't despair, don't give up

Don't tell them you don't give a f*ck
Cause it's exactly, exactly what they want
