The Sweet Life

Yeah, I know I look worse for the wear
But I have everything at my fingertips
I've been infantilized by a pat on the back and an endless go-aheadAin't nothing gonna break my stride
Ain't nothing gonna slow me down
Oh no, when there's no one disapprovingYet it's women not lack of ambition that keeps good men bedridden
Jesus Christ, I am forever making the same mistakes
Yet it's women not lack of ambition that keeps good men bedridden
Jesus Christ, I am forever making the same mistakesI continue to stumble around as long as everyone cheers me on
Am I the only one without the weapon to end the war?Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Ain't nothing gonna slow me down
Oh no, when there's no one disapprovingYet it's women not lack of ambition that keeps good men bedridden
Jesus Christ, I am forever making the same mistakes
Yet it's women not lack of ambition that keeps good men bedridden
Jesus Christ, I am forever making the same mistakesDeaf men in the city of sirens
Blind men in the presence of snakes
I told you, I told you
But I'm adrift in a sea of temptationI told you, I told you
A newborn with inadequate skills
I told you, I told you
Turn the party up, honesty be damned
How fucking pathetic of me?I can't go this way not when I have your heart
Oh, what a childish life I have led?
God, what a wicked man I have beenBut ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Ain't nothing gonna slow me down
Oh no, when there's no on disapproving
