[Verse 1]
They said, "kid, you are in luck
You were born when the stars made a hero in the sky"
They said, "you'll grow up to be tough
With spit on your shoes and dirt in your eyes"
They said, "whatever is to come
You'll know where you've been, love"
"Whatever is to come
You'll know where you've been, love"

[Verse 2]
Now you're sitting in the quiet
In some new house with the ashes on the bookshelf
The ones who said those things have died
And you've never been good at talking nice to yourself
They said
They said
They said, they said, they said, they said
