Lyrics

Sowin' the seeds of discontentment

Sowing discontent by planting seeds of dissatisfaction.

Spillin' milk all over your misspent youth

Wasting the potential of your youth, symbolized by spilling milk.

Nurture your crop with blind resentment

Cultivating negative feelings without insight or understanding.

All your cryin' can't change the truth

Crying won't alter the reality or change the facts.


The straight life, baby, has taken its toll

The conventional, conformist lifestyle has had negative consequences.

Confiined your mind and stolen your soul

Being trapped in a routine has restricted your thoughts and taken away your essence.


Your shit don't stink now that you're livin' the straight life

Arrogance and denial, thinking you're superior now in the conformist life.

Lookin' so cute in that grown-up's suit

Appearing attractive in the attire of adulthood but losing authenticity.

Chasin' down all your lost and wasted time

Pursuing lost time without regard for consequences.

You don't care who the fuck you screw

Indifference to the harm caused to others in pursuit of personal desires.


The straight life, baby, has taken its toll

Reiterating the negative impact of the conventional life.

Confiined your mind and stolen your soul

Emphasizing the mental and spiritual theft caused by conformity.


You reap just what you sow

Highlighting the principle of reaping consequences in life.

If you reap anything at all

Questioning whether there will be any positive results from conformist actions.

I let my wild weeds grow

Allowing one's own untamed, authentic self to flourish.

I hope they choke your rotten crop

Expressing a desire for the conformist lifestyle to suffer from its own choices.


The straight life, baby, has taken its

Reiterating the toll taken by the conventional life.

toll Confiined your mind and stolen your soul

Emphasizing the confinement of the mind and the theft of the soul in the conformist life.
