[Verse 1]
You'll figure it out
And know that you got time before you figure it out
Everything will be fine if you forget all about
The ones who don't know why you haven't seen them around
But you pass through their towns
I know you're sick of them now
Cause high school wasn't nice to you
And when you got out
The same jackasses followed you
And kicked you around
Some of them were your bosses too
The world's a small town
Just can't find your way out, I know

[Pre-Chorus]
They'll laugh at you, you can't be true
It's overwhelming to
Point that you don't know, if
You're still real, or how to feel
You're losing your appeal
What a poor performance now

[Chorus]
And shouldn't I know?
I was the one who carried the show
But I'm first to tell you now
They shouldn't care
About whoever's pulling your hair
And you'll make up that what you will
It's not my problem
It's not your problem if you want
You call the shots and they do not
[Verse 2]
Moving ahead
Sounds easier than it really is
Noise in your head is breaking up your sentences
You've already said enough to make them hate you
So now shoot from your hip
And don't stop 'til those motherfuckers
Are filled with lead
Of course, don't take that literal; I'm not Eminem
No, I can't go to court and they don't need to be dead
Instead, say "fuck off kindly", and get on with your shit
I mean, it's their life they're pissin' away

[Pre-Chorus]
It's funny how they sit around
Their longest fingers out
To point out how you waste life
Break them off, I'd rather not
I'm scared that if we touch
You'll wind up keeping me in line

[Chorus]
And shouldn't I know?
I was the one who carried the show
But I'm first to tell you now
That they shouldn't care
About whoever's pulling your hair
And you'll make of that what you will
It's not my problem
It's not your problem if you want
So say what you want, but
First, figure out what you should want
You call the shots and they do not
