lyrics

You say it’s not your job to complain,
But that’s exactly what you do.
Don’t have a brain for monetary gain,
The criticism gets you through the day.
I won’t do any more than I have to,
So I especially won’t do anything for you,

Except for this:

Hypocritical and Cynical, You Break Me Down,
Make me the catalyst for everything you’ve ever frowned upon,
I’m everything you’ve ever wanted to be, right?
I never said it, but I never really meant it ‘til now.

You say that every day is the same,
But your opinions never change.
Don’t have the sense for seeking recompense;
Everyone’s plans can’t rearrange around (you).
(You) cannot save your piss-poor reputation.
A laundry list of mistakes, saying sorry will never erase them.

Good thing you quit!

Hypocritical and Cynical, You Break Me Down,
Make me the catalyst for everything you’ve ever frowned upon,
I’m everything you’ve ever wanted to be, right?
I never said it, but I never really meant it ‘til now.

Yeah I’m pretty selfish,
I’m downright helpless,
But at this point I think I’d be better off on my own.
Don’t know how else to say it,
So I’ll just say it again.
We’re done, it’s over.
I bet you won’t believe this is the …(end).
