Breadwinner

The road to hell is paved with good intentions
 That's the path that brought me here
 You sell your soul for roles you take
 And then you have to look into the mirror
 So feed us cancer
 Give us drugs
 Sell us half-ass educations
 So we can pick a job to pay the rent
 Forget your dreams and what they may have meant to you in your youth
 Find a bride and raise the kids
 Teach them from mistakes that you have made
 Are we predestined or just well trained?
 Invent a god and place the blame for all this hurt you feel
 And on and so on
 And it feels sometimes so scripted like your life's out of your hands
 A fixed lottery we'll never win
 Not everybody wants to be the angry one
 To sacrifice and make a change
 But everybody wants to find a better way
 I search for that for you
 ♪
 These things that you love will leave
 We'll bury friends and family
 With these lonely feelings
 These lonely feelings
 I think of you
 In my selfishness I waste away
 Act your age and be a man
 With these lonely feelings
 These lonely feelings
 I think of you
 And I brace myself
 And it feels sometimes so scripted like your life's out of your hands
 A fixed lottery we'll never win
 Not everybody wants to be the angry one to sacrifice and make a change
 But everybody wants to find a better way
 I search for that for you
 And it breaks my heart to see you do this all by yourself
 And I've sworn so many times this year I'll turn things around
 Don't ever let your daughter love a passionate man
 Because I hate myself for missing all the times I promised you
