Shinola In The Long Run

Shinola In The Long Run 

F**k you I'm bitter

you're ignorant 

we'll never see eye to eye 

just sit tight in dreams 

of compromised misery 

reaching for lofty goals

that don't mean anything 

one day your dreams will be smashed  (they'll be dashed)

against the rocks of your drinking glass

and you'll see you wasted all the time you had 

in the pursuit of things that don't mean s**t or ...

Shinola in the long run 

once it's boiled down 

the cobwebs are wiped away 

and everything's figured out

Shinola in the long run 

nothing matters then 

as you waste away and beg and plead

to try it all again

Take a picture to remember 

when you;re drooling on yourself 

and reality decks you right in the face

and each charade you built 

gets disassembled lie by cultivated lie

and you wonder what went wrong 

as you try to move ahead

less like an adult and more like a kid
