Lyrics

Overeducated, under medicated, overworked, underpaid, over fucked, under laid, baby

Expressing feelings of being highly educated, undermedicated, overworked, underpaid, and facing challenges in personal relationships.

But that's the way that it's got to be when I'm twenty fucking one and I feel forty fucking Three

Reflecting on the challenging reality of being 21 but feeling much older, suggesting a sense of weariness and premature aging.

Come close I'll tell you what's been on my mind, why I'm crying in the darkness and Wasting all your time

Inviting someone close to share personal struggles, hinting at emotional pain and a sense of wasting time.

Strangers not long for this world, it's come crashing down around us and we're watching It burn, baby

Describing a feeling of impending doom, the fragility of life, and witnessing the world collapse, possibly in a metaphorical sense.


It's never enough

Expressing dissatisfaction, suggesting that whatever is experienced or achieved is never sufficient.

To hear the people scoff

Acknowledging criticism or ridicule from others and the frustration it brings.

But I'm driving the bus

Despite criticism, asserting control over one's life by metaphorically driving the bus, indicating a determination to move forward.

And we're all fucked

Conveying a sense of collective struggle or hardship shared by everyone, emphasizing a feeling of being "fucked" or in a difficult situation.


I've always known I was born to wander, born in blood, and shit, and left over karma

Acknowledging a sense of destiny to wander and facing the consequences of others' actions, expressed through vivid imagery.

But I've been paying double someone else's sins so nail me to the cross and push the Dagger in, baby

Feeling burdened by the consequences of others' sins, using religious imagery of being nailed to the cross and stabbed with a dagger.


It's never enough

Reiterating the dissatisfaction with the inadequacy of external validation or acknowledgment.

To hear the people scoff

Highlighting the continued frustration of facing criticism or disbelief from people.

But I'm driving the bus

Reaffirming personal control and determination despite external challenges, symbolized by driving the bus.

And we're all fucked

Emphasizing the shared experience of hardship and challenges faced by everyone.


Now I'm praying that there's more than this than getting disrespected when I'm shoveling Shit

Expressing a desire for more meaning in life beyond being disrespected, possibly alluding to the search for purpose.

But I know that this is all I'll ever be

Accepting a sense of resignation, acknowledging that the current state might be the only reality.

Wasted, useless, a leech, a disease

Describing a self-perceived negative identity as wasted, useless, a leech, and a disease.


It's never enough

Reiterating the theme of dissatisfaction, suggesting that no amount of external validation or success is enough.

To hear the people scoff

Acknowledging the persistence of criticism or disbelief from others.

But I'm driving the bus

Asserting control and determination in the face of challenges, symbolized by driving the bus.

And we're all fucked

Reaffirming the shared experience of being in a difficult situation or "fucked" collectively.
