lyrics

I made a list of the things I need.
I wrote "Money" and "Self Esteem."
And I could use a half ounce of weed.
But—that’s a want and not a need.

I gotta get my priorities
in order, so it seems.
Cuz I'm running from my dreams,
and it's making me feel mean.

It's making me feel mean.
It's making me blow smoke.
I can hear you laughing.
You laugh, but it's no joke.

You made a list of the things I need.
You wrote "God" and "a degree."
you didn't write down "therapy,"
Cuz you just want what's best for me.

I put my trust in authority.
Thought I was destined to succeed.
Then I realized that your dreams
just weren't right for me.

You thought you could save me
Shoving shit right down my throat.
Well I don't need your father,
your son, or Holy Ghost.

I bought a book on anarchy.
That's a little bit of irony.
But I was hoping to find the key
or something to believe.

I made a list of the things I need
I wrote them down:
1. _____
2. _____
3. _____
But I left the lines empty
to reflect the current "me."

My tank is on empty.
My heart is out of hope.
I know that you are laughing,
but I'm the writer of the joke.
