lyrics

Just got out of bed now
and now I'm all ready to tackle the world with
My low self esteem and bad attitude
Its kind of funny

life is grand
when youre

rude.

Things are not always what they seem.
The Future Isn't What it Used to be
My mind dips to the past
Think about things the way they used to be.
Now I don't see anything but
The man I can not be.

Its sick and kinda sad how I turned my
back on my old friends.

But what did they do for me I dare to ask?

I think I'm right when my appetite for self destruction
takes ahold of me it makes my past mistakes a little bigger than
a gray day be.

Its not like I meant this to happen to myself

Its kinda funny

Life is grand

when youre rude

Things are not always what they seem.
The Future Isn't What it Used to be
My mind dips to the past
Think about things the way they used to be.
Now I don't see anything but
The man I can not be.
