lyrics

I getting tired t-t-tired of the silly little games they play
everybody's f-f-f-flapping their gums but they got nothing to say

Little Boys and little girls
watch their little love unfurl
drama king and drama queen
making love on the tv
when they wanna sell some pharma
ceuticals and enchilatas
cranking up all of the trauma
how they make your mamma wanna die

You know its all a lie
when they tell you to survive
in the confines of their minds
you're just a casualty of life
and you know that they'll decide
every little thing until you die
and you live with your disguise
you're just a casualty of life

C-c-casualty of life

you act so interested and ask me what I did in school today
I told you that I thought about taking out the faculty

little schools with little rules
accolades only for fools
turning us all into tools
misery loves company
selling all their pupils pharmaceuticels
you knew all along it was the same old
song of money money money more

don't call me maladjusted
just because I don't conform
I know, I been confronted
ever since the day that I was born
