"Kids Games" lyrics

"Kids Games"

Warm beds and draining threes
Well, you said that's all you ever meant to me
Well, as time goes by and this life goes on
I gotta say, I think I might just tend to agree
That you hit rock bottom when you came to me
With that half-assed, made-up apology
You got a lousy life and you look like a slob
Laid back, clocked in, checked out on the job

Yeah, we got roughed up, we got locked up
We never grew up, we never had enough
We didn't learn, we watched it all burn down in flames
Playing silly kids games

Nickel bags and BMX bikes
Selling fake grass on long summer nights
It was simple shit, it was a different time
But here I am and I lost my mind
No school, no sports, no job, no life
My own damn mother couldn't stand my sight
If you wanna make it back, you gotta put up a fight
But back from what? I was never quite right

Yeah, we got roughed up, we got locked up
We never grew up, we never had enough
We didn't learn, we watched it all burn down in flames
Playing silly kids games

No school, no job
No fun, no life
We didn't learn, we watched it all burn down in flames
Playing silly kids games

Yeah, we got roughed up, we got locked up
We never grew up, we never had enough
We didn't learn, we watched it all burn down in flames
Playing silly kids games
We didn't learn, we watched it all burn down in flames
Playing silly kids games
