"Adolescent Regressive Behavior" lyrics

Back when I was just pup, on the loose and cutting up
Didn't know my ass from a hole in the ground
Which way is up, which way was down
Fallin' down from trial and error
Picking myself up off the ground

What's fair and what's not
What's cold or hot
What's is right and what is wrong
What is weak and what is strong
With some I faked it to relate
Makin' bonds I'd later break
Formative years were startin' to stack
One day I'd be lookin' back

At your speech and your act
Adolescent regressive behaviour
Can't move forward from what happened way back
Adolescent regressive behaviour

Now that you're molded and shaped
Here's a challenge comin' straight from fate
You'll have to collaborate with one that set in their ways
And how we treated one another back in the day
How can an old dog learn new tricks
Pride ego munchin' and big upsman ship
No, it all narcissistic resentment based recidivistic
Inability to forgive

I mean what are they gonna say man
He was a wise man, he was kind man
He had vision he had purpose
He was... bullshit

First action of disrespect
In grade school I recollect
The issue was power struggle
Threatened by my swagger and my hustle
You insulted me out loud
In front of my friends in the crowd
I couldn't let it go so we came to blows for a week
Scrapin' the school yard into the street
Fussin' feuding fighting and knocking each other out
Till the pigs came finally put the fire out

Decades later we grew up
Never thought we'd end up
Working the same workplace
As we exchanged the same words
That brought us back to the absurd
Where the bad seed was placed

Can't move forward from what happened was back
Adolescent regressive behaviour
