What's the point muffin? I don't believe in nothin' anymore You tell me I don't relate to the kids no more Now I feel like I'm letting them down What's the point running? Not like I'm up and coming anymore So what if they hear me on my bathroom floor? I'm sure they're big enough now But of course I'll re-implore you On the kind of nation that we have You've either been on your own too long Or it just feels like that (it just feels like that) So, tell me if I'm stuck or moving on up That's a conversation to be had Have I been living on my own too long Or does it just feel like that? When I sing the song, and you didn't like the verse I try to fix myself but nothing works I sing the song, and you didn't like the words I try to fix myself but nothing, nothing What's the point, Martin? Don't you be starting, anymore They told me I was the fat cat kid for a minute But they're the ones who are doing us proud What's the point running? Not like I'm up and coming anymore So, what if they hear me singing "I love war"? I'm sure they're big enough now But of course I'll re-implore you On the kind of nation that we have You've either been on your own too long Or it just feels like that (it just feels like that) So, tell me if I'm stuck or moving up Now that's a conversation to be had Have I been talking to myself for long Or do it just sound like that? When I sing the song, and you didn't like the verse I try to fix myself but nothing works I sing the song, and you didn't like the words I try to fix myself but nothing works I feel wrong, I feel rehearsed I try to fix myself but nothing works I sing the song, and you didn't like the words I try to fix myself but nothing, nothing Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing Nothing, nothing, nothing works But of course I'll re-implore you On the kind of nation that we have You've either been on your own too long Or it just feels like that (it just feels like that) So tell me, am I stuck or moving up? Now that's a conversation to be had Have I been talking to myself so long Or do it just sound like that? When I sing the song, and you didn't like the verse I try to fix myself but nothing works I sing the song, and you didn't like the words I try to fix myself but nothing works I feel wrong, I feel rehearsed I try to fix myself but nothing works I sing the song, and you didn't like the words I try to fix myself but nothing, nothing Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing (Fix myself but nothing works) (I feel wrong I feel rehearsed) (I try to fix myself but nothing works) (I sing the song and you didn't)
