lyrics

My Life as a Con

This is who I used to be
But now my life is a con
Don’t tell me it’s good enough
And I suggest you move on

In that dream I was a carpenter
On a variety show
The wood has rot and my blade’s too dull
The audience let me know

Don’t tell me it’s good enough
Then thrown tantrum when I turn to go
You never know, the Six of Wands could show

This is the house I grew up in
What’s that shuffling sound?
You don’t have to get excited I was
Just on my way out

This used to be a family town
But I was just standing tight
Don’t tell me, tell it to the judge
/Officer, I have rights

Don’t tell me you’re getting bored
Then throw a tantrum when it’s time to go
You’ll never know how much we must bare

Don’t tell it’s getting late then
Throw a ratchet in my plans to go
Let me know
If people stop and stare

For me
I’m gonna beg
For my life

This used to be who I was
But now my life is a con
Don’t tell me it’s good enough
And I suggest you move on

This clock has a pendulum
But it isn’t weighted right
It isn’t swinging at a even rate and
It kept me up most the night

For me
I’m gonna beg
For my life
