lyrics

i'm so tired
no amount of sleep will make it better
the universe keeps tearing me apart
and i can't keep it together
is something wrong with me?
is something wrong with everybody else?

say goodbye to your childhood
stay in school til you graduate
welcome to the work force
welcome to the human race
land of opportune impunity
couple dollars buys immunity
terrified and losing sleep
no rest for you and me

and i'm so tired
no amount of sleep will make it better
the universe keeps tearing me apart
and i can't keep it together
is something wrong with me?
is something wrong with everybody else?

say goodbye to your innocence
stay stuck in one place
welcome to the real world
welcome to the rat race
dollar sign disparity
it's all mirky need some clarity
is this how it's supposed to be?
i'm running out of energy

and i'm so tired
no amount of sleep will make it better
the universe keeps tearing me apart
and i can't keep it together
is something wrong with me?
is something wrong with everybody else?
