I have nothing left, I gave it away
For a better life, for a rainy day
Now I’m caught in a storm of tears and screams
My best advice is follow your dreams
If everything happens for a reason
What’s the reason?
If everything is for a good cause, just because
Don’t say it’s the season
What’s the reason?
While history is still getting writ
You can charm that snake without getting bit
Congratulations - you cracked the code
Whatever you wear is a la mode
If everything...
Back off, back off for the good of the cause
You beat your chest but never opened any doors
You’re so dumb, but you’re on top
You’re swigging champagne like it’s diet soda pop
It’s a social circle fire drill
So break that glass and pop that pill
Let’s all meet at the big end of town
We’ll turn that smirk into a tidy little frown
If everything...
