Life is Backwords

Watch all the way through.

Seriously just watch the video.  But here's the text anyways.


Bad people can't change.
And for me, It's unfathomable to think that
I'm not a monster, just something strange.
Cause I sit there and know
That I'm going to rule the world someday
And It goes against my very nature to say
Some people born as the devil, pure evil
No. Only in societies medieval are
There riotous rule raving upheavals
Essentially, in our culture, aren't
Americans free to speak, to critique, to live
No. Are
We just a mass of puppets, corporate propaganda
I'm sick of everyone saying
That our government values us more than Wall-Street memoranda
Really, all I believe is that
The United States of America is no better than Uganda.
These condescending naysayers decry that
I can't lead a ground roots revolution. I don't mind, change is already in the air.
You know what? They're wrong.  And It doesn't matter if
My generation thinks we're royalty, on gold embezzled chairs.
Seriously, how can this world sustain itself when
Adult authority is paid not to care

But that's no way to approach life. You gotta turn your attitude around. So let's read this backwards.

Adult authority is paid not to care
Seriously, how can this world sustain itself when
My generation thinks we're royalty, on gold embezzled chairs.
