I Don't Wanna Get Wise

Lyrics

He was drunk, I was blind
 Though we tried to be kind
 I was sunk, always late
 We were quick to rotate
 Let's be blunt, I was a bluff
 And the surreal life was tough
 I was a runt, we told lies
 But to our great surprise
 All the shit that we did
 Brought us some money, I guess
 And those snotty young kids
 Were a standing success
 Helped us conquer and rise
 And we learned in this hell
 We don't wanna get wise
 (I don't wanna get wise)
 (I don't wanna get wise)
 Life teaches us well
 ♪
 We still pull, we get smug
 And we all like a drug
 Over full, always sated
 Puffed up, elated
 Let's admit our mistakes
 Are what triggered our breaks
 We were shits, oh, no disguise
 And it is no surprise
 That the crap that we did
 Brought us money, God bless
 And those snotty young kids
 Were a standing success
 Helped us conquer and rise
 And we learned in this hell
 We didn't wanna get wise
 (I don't wanna get wise)
 (I don't wanna get wise)
 Life teaches us well
 Experiment, you universe
 We'll ask why you choose to curse
 Why set a fire you plan to douse?
 Why set a rat to catch a mouse?
 He was drunk (he was drunk), I was blind (he was blind)
 Though we tried to be kind
 I was sunk (he was sunk), he was late (always late)
 We were quick to rotate
 We tried hard to stay young
 But the high notes were sung
 We've been scarred, we've been prized
 But you could see in our eyes
 (I don't wanna get wise)
 (I don't wanna get wise)
 We got wise
 (I don't wanna get wise)
 (I don't wanna get wise)
 We got wise
 (I don't wanna get wise)
 (I don't wanna get wise)
 We got wise
 (I don't wanna get wise)
 (I don't wanna get wise)
 We got wise
