I walked two miles in the rain in a suit
my feet torn up from my father's shoes
receipts and cards tumble out of my pocket
to the floor of the station, I still don't have a wallet
up a flight of stairs to Harold Square
the umbrellas of New York take up too much air
so we just walk real slow at double-arms length in unison
My mom dragged me to the doctor today
I've had a cough for a month and it won't go away
I've been sleeping on floors for three hours a day
and I got no insurance so she has to pay
I can't talk to my friends 'cause I'm embarrassed
that I keep sliding by down, I keep getting depressed
We got our ideals but no way to achieve them
We got our degrees but got no means to use it
We're swimming in debt with no way to surmount it
We've got 30 bucks so we spent it on whiskey
We've got credit cards so we got a new TV
We've got mobile phones but no minutes so text me
Get out of my way because
I'm 25 and I still act like I'm ten!
I'm 25 and I never learn from my mistakes
I make them again and again and again...
We swallow our pride over piles of problems
We whine and complain but we don't try to solve them
We're looking for answers like nobody's got them
Get out of my way because
I'm 25 and I still act like I'm ten damn years old
I'm 25 and I still act like I'm ten damn years old!
