lyrics
You took all the fun out of it
Like a teacher turned bad
You made it seem hard
When it really was easy
You tried to push the river
You tried to push everybody around
You smiled your stupid smile to the camera
Just in case the photograph didn't come out
Yeah you were heavy already
With the world atlas on your shoulder
You levelled all the beautiful mountains
And valleys, and palaces
Like some stupid steamroller
You took all the fun out of it
Now your little world's tumbling down
'scuse me if I stick around
'scuse me if I step aside
I can't stand to see a grown man cry
You say, "this is just how I am"
You say, "this is just what I do"
We all say "yeah"
"Ever since you were two"
You took all the fun out of it
Now I'm angry at you
And I'm angry at me
And I'm angry at me
For taking you seriously
Like a teacher turned bad
You made it seem hard
When it really was easy
You tried to push the river
You tried to push everybody around
You smiled your stupid smile to the camera
Just in case the photograph didn't come out
Yeah you were heavy already
With the world atlas on your shoulder
You levelled all the beautiful mountains
And valleys, and palaces
Like some stupid steamroller
You took all the fun out of it
Now your little world's tumbling down
'scuse me if I stick around
'scuse me if I step aside
I can't stand to see a grown man cry
You say, "this is just how I am"
You say, "this is just what I do"
We all say "yeah"
"Ever since you were two"
You took all the fun out of it
Now I'm angry at you
And I'm angry at me
And I'm angry at me
For taking you seriously
