They all talk down to you

Like they know what to do

When you never get paid

And you're full of these stupid hormones
         F                       G
And just then they come out with AIDS

Chorus:
    C
But when I grow up

An underground film maker

Backlot somewhere

On my own half an acre

        C
So they piss on your dreams

Then they muzzle your screams

Making ice cream on trucks

Shoveling horse products
