Lyrics
I was a young boy that had big plans Now I'm just another shitty old man I don't have fun, and I hate everything The world owes me, so fuck you Glory days don't mean shit to me I drank a six-pack of apathy Life's a bitch, and so am I The world owes me, so fuck you Wasted youth, and a fistful of ideals I had a young and optimistic point of view Wasted youth, and a fistful of ideals I had a young and optimistic point of view I've decomposed, yet my gut's getting fat Oh my God, I'm turning out like my dad I'm always rude, I've got a bad attitude The world owes me, so fuck you The wife's a nag, and the kid's fucking up I don't have sex 'cause I can't get it up I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch The world owes me, so fuck you Wasted youth, and a fistful of ideals I had a young and optimistic point of view Wasted youth, and a fistful of ideals I had a young and optimistic point of view ('Til I grew up) I was a young boy that had big plans Now I'm just another shitty old man I don't have fun, and I hate everything The world owes me, so fuck you Glory days don't mean shit to me I drank a six-pack of apathy Life's a bitch, and so am I The world owes me, so fuck you The world owes me, so fuck you The world owes me, so fuck you
