Dear Scene, I Wish I Were Deaf

You were one step behind in that dismal school of mine
 Needle and Percocets instead of books on students' desks
 But we were so charming, the future was alarming
 But now don't you go look so proud
 Yes, guess who's laughing now?
 And we've learned that life is one big game
 Where the winners are all getting paid
 So stop dragging your feet behind
 You can't live with your folks all your life
 So on those days home in your car
 We jerked the steering wheel to the median
 Joking that we'd end our lives
 But we weren't joking all the time
 ♪
 "Start a band or throw a brick"
 You lazy hipsters make me sick
 Don't clap your hands
 Don't start to dance
 Don't let them know that you're a fan
 You're living in Manhattan
 Where are you really from, have you forgotten?
 Kid, you may be playing your music loud
 But it's drowned out by your mouth
 And we've learned that life is one big game
 Where the winners are all getting paid
 So stop dragging your feet behind
 You can't live with your folks all your life
 So on those days home in your car
 We jerked the steering wheel to the median
 Joking that we'd end our lives
 But we weren't joking all the time
