Nothing Special
Hello,
Here you are,
Well, who really asked you to,
Did you really think we'd all just be waiting 'round for you,
|
Hello,
Surprise,
Well, I'm sorry if we let you down,
The first thing you'll learn kid is you're really nothing special,
|
Now let's see ten fingers and ten toes,
Well, you've got your mothers's eyes I suppose,
And your father well, I guess we'll never really know,
|
Hello,
Good luck,
Don't let your hopes and dreams get up,
Keep your hands strong and calloused,
Your mind, your heart, your mouth shut,
|
Hello,
So what?
You didn't really believe you'd amount to much,
This world's a heavy knapsack,
Life's a hundred flight of stairs,
|
I'm sure your mother cried tears of joy,
Right before she gave away her darling boy,
And your father well, I guess we'll never really know,
|
Somersaulting tethered to a lifeline,
Not like this blue world without its safety net,
You came out feet first stretching a toe for solid ground,
But we pulled the rug out from under you,
Watch out for that first step, kid,
It's a lulu,
|
I'm sure your mother cried tears of joy,
Right before she gave away her darling boy,
And your father well, I guess we'll never really know,
|
Hello,
Good luck,
Well, I'm sorry if you expected much,
The first thing you'll learn kid is you're really nothing special,
