No one told you it would be OK
And it turns out they were right
It wasn't omission
It wasn't an error or an oversight
The world has never taken kindly
To an insolent and wily
Misanthropic and misunderstood kid
But they're not angry with you 'cause you refuse to conform
They're angry with themselves because they already did
Someday they will
One day they will
Someday they'll die
It all slowed down
Every time you came around
It's easy to see
It's so easy to see now
That I trusted you without grounds
And you can steal my heart
And you can steal my car
And I gave you my keys so you can take what you want
'Cause you're a true friend and I know a true friend
"Cause a true friend's the one that stabs you in the front
Someday they will
One day they will
Someday they'll die
They're got to die some time
They're got to die some time
They're got to die some time
They're got to die some time
