Maybe I'm Not Meant to Do Anything Remarkable After All

Another year, another year
 And here I am, still sitting here
 It's a wonderful place for a boy to be
 Even me
 My generation was pacified
 Taught self-esteem and filled with pride
 Ergo egos. Away we go
 Egos weee!
 I believed it for a long, long time though they told it to us all
 But, maybe I'm not meant to do anything remarkable after all
 An enrichment program, a gifted class
 I didn't have to do very much to pass
 Oh, what could I be if I applied myself?
 We'll never know
 'Cause I give up almost instantly
 If something doesn't come to me easily
 If I'm entitled to success, well, I must be great
 And I can wait
 I believed it for a long, long time but I got this wake-up call
 But, maybe I'm not meant to do anything remarkable after all
 I'm starting to recognize
 I don't need a bigger life
 I'm starting to recognize
 I don't need a bigger life
 I used to feel nothing but guilt
 When I took a look at the life I built
 Surely I was meant for something more
 Something great
 Lately, I feel something more like peace
 Have I given up or have I been released?
 Maybe this drive to improve ourselves
 Might be a mistake. (We all make.)
 I believed it for a long, long time but I was headed for a wall
 But, maybe I'm not meant to do anything remarkable after all
 I believed it for a long, long time though they told it to us all
 But, maybe I'm not meant to do anything remarkable after all
