Now you know, Kid.
Everyone cheats, kid. Everyone hurts you, kid.
Everyone cuts corners on you.
Now you know, kid.
Everyone lies, kid. Everyone deceives, kid.
Everyone manipulates you.
When you were born, it was quite a thing
The nurses gathered around, you were a tiny perfect king
Perched on your throne in that noisy nursery
Your kingdom lay before you, you ruled all that you could see.
They took your hand and led you to school
And there you learned to play by their rules
The ones there that hate spit in your face
Laugh and they sneer but it’s the whole human race
The do-gooders lie because this is as good as it gets
Time marches on and one day you’ll forget
The hurting, the pain make you who you are
Get over yourself no one leaves without a scar
