To be great at an early age
You gotta do what it takes to kill the pain
Though it hurts and it doesn't feel right
They'll tell you be strong and pay the price

To be great at an early age
You gotta take it with a smile on your face
Men in suits will boss you around
And bend you over while you make no sound

You were worth a million
A walking cash machine
But now you’ve grown, there’s nothing left
Of the former super teen
They screwed you well a thousand times over
Not for you, a four leaf clover, a four leaf clover

When you're great at an early age
You are your family’s pride and joy
You’re passed around on an endless parade
While no one cares about your inner turmoil

You were worth a million
A walking cash machine
But now you’ve grown, there’s nothing left
Of the former super teen
They screwed you well a thousand times over
Not for you, a four leaf clover, a four leaf clover

Lost in the real world with no place to hide
You used to be someone, now swallow your pride
You’re one of us mortals with no other skill
Then having a past and a future to kill

You were worth a million
You used to reek of cash
But now that you've grown
There's nothing left
They screwed you well
A thousand times over
Not for you, a four leaf clover, a four leaf clover

To be great at an early age
You gotta take it with a smile on your face
Men in suits will boss you around
And bend you over while you make no sound
Bend you over while you make no sound
Bend you over while you make no sound
Bend you over while you make no sound

Not for you
A four leaf clover
Not for you
A four leaf clover
Not for you
A four leaf clover
Not for you
A four leaf clover
