position, but it doesn't really matter.

Lyrics

I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just a ***ty old man			(Verse 1)
I don't have fun and I hate everything
The world owes me so *** you

Glory days don't mean *** to me
I drank a six-pack of apathy
Life's a bitch and so am I			(Verse 2)
The world owes me so *** you

Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals		(Chorus)
I had a young and optimistic point of view

I've decomposed yet my gut's gettin fat
Oh my God, I'm turning out like my dad
I'm always rude, I got a bad attitude		(Verse 3)
The world owes me so *** you

The wife's a nag and the kid's ***in up
I don't have sex cuz I can't get it up		(Verse 4)
I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch
The world owes me so *** you

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Verse 1)
(Verse 2)

The world owes me so *** you			(End)
The world owes me so *** you
