See the best minds of my generation
Destroyed by pretension
Sitting in detention with nothing better to do
Arguing all the things you're so scared to lose
Trying to make me disillusioned too
Been there, done it all, but I'll never become you
Tell me true
Only when there's nothing left to choose
You've read all the right books on everything
So you think you've figured out my psychology
But you can't play doctor then expect
We can still be friends
So you better write your thesis
Before your subject is dead
Watching William Shatner or reading Anne Rice
Arguing the best and worst lame plot device
Debating at the Waffle House is getting old
Being with you makes me think I'm better off alone
Tell me true
Only when all your lies have failed you
