"Kobayashi Maru (My Very Own)" lyrics

Tell me how I'm gonna be jealous of an Energizer battery
Actually adding to humanity
Maybe by the count of three somebody could count on me
To be someone who hasn't been deprived of any sanity
I thought I saw you smile when you walked in
I must've forgotten I was sitting upside down
'Cause no one would be happy walking in to my room
I should've caught on to that by now

I wonder what I'm gonna screw up this time
Heard that you were talking through the grapevine
Put your mind to it and you could make some great wine someday
I think I could probably have a great time
Heard that you were talking through the grapevine
Put your mind to it and you could make some great wine
But it takes time

It's amazing I could feel this pressure
From someone who's not even in the room
These breathing exercises feel so useless
I always end up bursting that balloon
They tell you tell yourself that you're important
They tell you tell yourself the honest truth
That feels so paradoxical and stupid
My very own Kobayashi Maru

I wonder what I'm gonna screw up this time
Heard that you were talking through the grapevine
Put your mind to it and you could make some great wine someday
I think I could probably have a great time
Heard that you were talking through the grapevine
Put your mind to it and you could make some great wine
But don't you know that it always takes time
