[Intro:]
When I was a little boy
My dad raised me like a soldier
He said "Son, you can't have everything you want
The world don't work like that"
And I asked, "Well, why not dad?"
And he said, "Because life isn't fair"
Well dad, why the fuck not?
[Verse 1:]
He said, "Floyd when I was your age, I asked the same question
But then you grow up, and you learn your lesson
Life's not fair, and life's not cool
To make it in the world, you follow three rules:
Rule #1: just do what you're told
I used to fight authority, but then I got old
Rule #2: Don't expect free shit
If you wanna make dough, you gotta work for it
And rule #3: give up on your dreams
'Cause life ain't no fuckin' fantasy."
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Well this is coming from the guy who cheated on my mom
He may have wanted me to listen but I mean, come on
If the government don't work for us, then who is it for?
The people on top, the elites, or the poor?
My father never even had a chance to succeed
Middle class family, my father, and me
When I was a little boy
My dad raised me like a soldier
He said "Son, you can't have everything you want
The world don't work like that"
And I asked, "Well, why not dad?"
And he said, "Because life isn't fair"
Well dad, why the fuck not?
