I was a kid, I was supposed to go to school
Get the best grades you ll find success
That's what my old man used to say

But no one told me that my life would suck like this

My momma told me always to be at home at six
Wasn't allowed to ever be the second best
I picked the books over the chicks

But no one told me that my life would suck like this

When I was young I thought that I d defuse a bomb
Save human kind from the worst atomic blast
And I would find a cure for AIDS

But no one told me that my life would suck like this

Today I find I m justa bump at 51
And if I died here maybe no one even cares
I feel so lonely, never got no wife and kids

Why no one told me that my life woould suck like this
