lyrics

Well I was born on a funeral pyre with an apple in my mouth
A face already wrinkled and a cigarette in hand
My teachers turned to me and said "Live long and try your best"
Until the scores came in and it turned out I'd flunked the test

They said sell out, survive or kill yourself, the options I'm presented
I strove to strive all of my life but still I am resented
And I can live without your lies if you don't need my friendship
It isn't like you'll ever see the world from my perspective

And I'm too old for this shit anymore
I am too old for this shit anymore
I am too old for this shit
But I'm too young to die

Now I can see three paths ahead, the first one ends the strife
Trade in my self for better health, more money and a wife
To me that sounds like misery and I doubt I can survive
So realistically looks like I'm looking at the knife

Sell out, survive or kill yourself, the options they presented
The preacher says we'll go to hell if we should try to end it
But I say we're already there, the fires are relentless
We're thrown into the Colosseum, naked and defenceless

And I'm too old for this shit anymore
I am too old for this shit anymore
I am too old for this shit
But I'm too young to die

Well you better keep your distance if you want to fall in love
You better be too greedy if you want to have enough
You think the gift of giving birth is gonna be enough
You want to save a life? Well you better rubber up
If you manage to live well, with your wealth and mental health
Without feeling like you're fucking over everybody else
Then life has been good to you, and I guess I should applaud
As for me I wish my mother had the foresight to abort

And I'm too old for this shit anymore
I am too old for this shit anymore
And I'm too old for this shit anymore
I am too old for this shit anymore
