about

They say I could be monumental, if only I'd live up to my potential.

lyrics

I never will amount...
They think they have me figured out
It's not that it's hard
They say I'm lazy

But it's tough to be inspired
when the world's put out your fire
and the smoke and the mirrors
have left you hazy


Chorus:
They say I could be monumental
if only I'd live up to my potential
A capable guy
who just can't be bothered to try


Try to understand
that I shouldn't be part of your plan
'cause when the moment is at hand
I'll leave you hanging

So take it all in stride
while I run home and hide
and push it all aside
when it's left to me

I'd be of more use
if it weren't the constant abuse
of a world that seeks
to abuse me...
