"Pity Parade" lyrics

We're so afraid of being boring
So we dream about a foreign car
I don't know about you, but I feel like we have it all
We say it's something in the water
For the reasons life's harder
But I don't know about that
Maybe there's something else

That we're not saying, so we swear
There's no magic in the air
Go keep looking in the mirror
There's a voice inside my head
I'm telling it

I don't really care what you say
I wasn't born yesterday
I know that I'm on my way
While you're in a pity parade

Oh, I'm really sorry that you feel a little sad
I could tell a cute story
Make you feel a little glad
Aren't you right where you're supposed to be?
Make a nice salary
But Sally, please
What about that thing you said you wanna be?
You're stuck up in an office
Wanted to see the world
Your 20s came and gone, and you missed out on the girl
You went to Stanford, yeah you're smart, we get it
Show off that paper, now I'm gonna leave
I'll see you later
(Peace)

I don't really care what you say
I wasn't born yesterday
I know that I'm on my way
While you're in a pity parade

I don't really care what you say
Cause I wasn't born yesterday
I know that I'm on my way
While you're in a pity parade
