Modern girls always have to go (you were right),
Old-fashioned men always want a mistress(right on time).
Modern girls always get their way (you were right),
Modern men dream of what they can't say (I was wrong).
That's alright,
I don't belong.

Why you gotta say it if you know it's something wrong? (Why're you sitting over there?)
Says that he'll apologize and it won't take too long (Always thinking 'bout yourself),
Well you don't wanna trust nobody else.

(Time)
There's a few things that are gonna have to change,
(I'm your son)
Everyone has the same opinion.
(Won't you please?)
Your time is almost over,
(Don't be mean)
We won't get the chance to do this over.
That's alright,
I don't belong.

I don't want the imprint of your key upon my nose (Why're you sitting over there?),
You don't have to tell no one 'cause no one wants to know (Always thinking 'bout yourself).
That you don't have no happiness at all.

Oh yes we're falling down (Oh yes we're falling down)
Oh yes we're falling down (Oh yes we're falling down)
Oh yes we're falling down (Oh yes we're falling down)
Oh yes we're falling down (Oh yes we're falling down)
Oh yes we're falling down (Oh yes we're falling down)
Oh yes we're falling down (Oh yes we're falling down)
Oh yes we're falling down (Oh yes we're falling down)
So fucking help me up.

Always thinking 'bout yourself,
You don't love me.
I am an animal,
I am not practical.

Was I?
