You've already made to many mistakes To ever amount to anything great You're not allowed to dream out loud You're far too young to even count And much too poor without any doubt And you haven't done nearly enough To deserve any grace or anyones love God speak truth To the lies that we've believed instead of you You're in the wrong city for that line of work
And you'll never make it unless you're a jerk Live for yourself and store up more wealth We've traded in dreams and youthful ideals For less noble things of paying the bills And trying our best to look like the rest While hiding our fears by the way we all dress God speak truth To the paychecks we have trusted instead of you
