Give Up Your Dreams

Give up your dreams

Give up your dreams

Give up your dreams

Give up your dreams

We've been stuck together in awkard situations

Sitting at the back of the van

Talking smack then taking back

Then wonder if you can

Get up and walk out of this catastrophic career

For a moment, wooh wooh

You've been painting pictures, I've been writing jingles

Bloggin', makin' movies and worse

Conceptualising for a laugh

Then selling it's a curse

Now we're over, are we even part of the scene

Give up your dreams

Can anyone help me, it's starting to fall apart at the seams

Give up your dreams

Can anyone help us, someone must be pulling some strings

I'm a loser and I'm losing my belief

Pick a path but never follow it forever

Lest you get stuck in a rut

Your liberal education won't mean much

When you're drowning in the muck

Go grab a pitchfork and stab it in the heart

Are you dreamin', wooh wooh

I've been giving up on all my aspirations

Thinkin' 'bout getting a job

How does one transition to a mortal from a god

Ain't gonna make it so let's break up and move on

Give up your dreams

Can anyone help me, it's starting to fall apart at the seams

Give up your dreams

Can anyone help us, someone must be pulling some strings

I'm a loser and I'm losing my belief

Don't let anyone tell you that you're special

Don't let anyone tell you that all your dreams will come true

Don't let anyone say that the world is your oyster

The world is not an oyster

The world is a cold, dark planet floating through infinite space

On a ceaseless journey to it's own destruction

And all we can do about it is be alright about things and get on with stuff

You're not a loser

You're a human

And I love you

I love you

Give up your dreams

Give up your dreams

Give up your dreams

Give up your dreams

I'm a loser and I'm losing my belief

Give up your dreams

Can anyone help me, it's starting to fall apart at the seams

Give up your dreams

Can anyone help us, someone must be pulling some strings

I'm a loser and I'm losing my belief
