Captured lightning by the tail
Fought their fires with some water and a pale
They left you off the chain email
They didn’t tell you that the house went up for sale
Do you really think their claims
Can get any righter
When you phrase them like that?
So stop it with the games
Ditch the lighter
And that cowboy hat
It’s not the 90s anymore
So snuff your cigarette
And shut the door
When did all the tasks that were so simple get so hard?
What happened to the memories you wanted to discard?
Did they burn up in a cloud of smoke?
Did they lave another scar?
It’s who you are
It’s who you are
It’s criminal how hard you tried
To make them find you when they wanted you to hide
They left you cause you testified
Even though your opinions were uniquely qualified
Do you honestly believe
That they’d return
If you had spoken otherwise?
Do you really think they grieve
You think they’ve learned
Or even sympathize?
It’s not the 90s anymore
So stop the pity act
It’s not your war
When did all the tasks that were so simple get so hard?
What happened to the memories you wanted to discard?
Did they burn up in a cloud of smoke?
Did they lave another scar?
It’s who you are
It’s who you are
Finding comfort your books
Secret places no one looks
You don’t need them anyway
You’re better off than if they’d stayed
Elaborate jokes they played
It’s not funny, and it wasn’t yesterday
When did all the tasks that were so simple get so hard?
What happened to the memories you wanted to discard?
Did they burn up in a cloud of smoke?
Did they lave another scar?
It’s who you are
It’s who you are
It’s who you are
