Preaching to me saying you sympathise

That I am okay you take more drugs than me

Swear that when I get old you'll blow all my brains out

Swear that when I get old you'll blow all my brains out

How I can respect you when you're such a twat
Bm                      A
   What you shocked at?

But when my future's involved, I've got a responsibility to

Sit down and think what I should do
