last night i had the strangest dream
this country could use a president like me
i got the money, and i can get a team
running for president in 2016
my team is telling me to start a little smaller
they keep saying maybe go for governor
but i'll be fine, i don't need a team
running for president in 2016
running for president in 2016
dow jones had me at their bugfest show
it's just the boost i need and what do you know
the url scene has turned me to a meme
running for president in 2016
running for president in 2016
running for president in 2016
i'm not the best, but certainly not the worst
i am broke, but i have two partners
make america daytona again
running for president in 2016
running for president in 2016
running for president in 2016
running for president in 2016
running for president in 2016
running for president in 2016
running for president in 2016
i-i-i want all the reason
i can hear him through my wall
m-m-my takes in the trash cuz
noises and i can't control them
i-i don't know what he's doing
but it's always every day
is he working out or cleaning
i don't know i just cannot say
running through the streets
not a care in the world
exhale out my mouth
let the cig burn
hop on a bike, cycle till i burn out
spending all my cash till i run out
heartbroken over a girl i didn’t even date
and she listens to my songs so we’re just friends anyway
i’m on my way to another show
i just can’t wait
oh shit it was yesterday
pop star, rock star you can call me what you want
jack of all trades but always master of none
releasing all this fire i’m nonchalant
fans always like
oh shit turnr did another one
i-i-i want all the reason
i can hear him through my wall
m-m-my takes in the trash cuz
noises and i can't control them
i-i don't know what he's doing
but it's always every day
is he working out or cleaning
i don't know i just cannot say
do some homework
go to classes
m-my mental state is breaking
what a pain his ass is
can he help it
should i tell him
every day it's constant noises
i-i have no other choices
the way you're looking down on me ain't right
i'm a pop star baby, pop star baby, yeah
so now you're tryna pick a fight?
baby take your clown car and go drive it outta sight
blinded by the light, that's my name tag
on the track with woopdoo, yea we made that
and i'm a slut for the attention, yeah they hate that
but i'm an open book you can see me, see me grinnin' through the face mask
this is what i'm made for, everything is written
it's a miracle i even met my best friends
so i know the sky's looking out for me
when i'm up there, never let you forget me
i-i-i want all the reason
i can hear him through my wall
m-m-my takes in the trash cuz
noises and i can't control them
i-i don't know what he's doing
but it's always every day
is he working out or cleaning
i don't know i just cannot say
do some homework
go to classes
m-my mental state is breaking
what a pain his ass is
can he help it
should i tell him
every day it's constant noises
i-i have no other choices
we looked up straight at the sky
said "are we really alive?"
told me "we're living a lie"
"the whole world wants us to die"
just found out, i'm not a kid anymore
i'm pretty fucking drained, i might crash on the floor
and i just left all my dreams by the backdoor
all my faith has walked away now
and i'm gonna need some pay now
i just wanna break the pain now
can i please run away now?
we looked up straight at the sky
said "are we really alive?"
told me "we're living a lie"
"the whole world wants us to die"
just woke up, i'm stuck tied to the ground
everybody wants to kick me when i'm down
i got tape on my mouth, can't make a sound
all my faith has walked away now
and i'm gonna need some pay now
i just wanna break the pain now
i think i'm gonna run away now
we looked up straight at the sky
said "are we really alive?"
told me "we're living a lie"
"the whole world wants us to die"
no more, forget it
i guess i never meant it
why bother when it always ends the same?
never mind it all
i'm slowly going to my downfall
it's a slippery slope of stupid tropes that never happen anywhere
(who cares?)
i think of the same person every time but i know that they'll never
(be aware)
'cause we're in different worlds and it's impossible to truly make it
(i'm scared)
'cause when i'm in my feelings i'm open to anything and it's my
(nightmare)
the days blend together and it doesn't get much better
no more, forget it
i guess i never meant it
why bother when it always ends the same?
never mind it all
i'm slowly going to my downfall
it's a slippery slope of stupid tropes that never happen anywhere
sleeping in
closing in
do me in
so chagrined
(run it back, run it)
sleeping in (wake up)
closing in (get out of there)
do me in
so chagrined (i'm sorry)
no more, forget it
i guess i never meant it
why bother when it always ends the same?
never mind it all
i'm slowly going to my downfall
it's a slippery slope of stupid tropes that never happen anywhere
