Cause there's
Nothing special
About you, no
You're just another
Carbon copy
Of your mother
Doing the same things
She did
Probably some of the same
Mistakes too
Cept she had a 4.0
And worked her ass off
To get where she was
Only to have life
Sweep her legs out
From under her
Leaving her with nothing
And she's still working
To get back to where she was
And you of course
Wanted to be exactly
Like her
Going to the same school
For elementary and high
Till you don't make it
Into her elite uni
Cause your marks weren't
As good as hers were
But still the same program
And first year you're already
Flunking out simply cause
You don't do anything
Cause there's a few things
You don't understand
So you simply get defeated
Give up before you're started
Mum had the world
Ripped from her hands
You just put it on the ground
After five minutes cause
You thought it was heavy
You never tried to see
How long you could
Carry it
Cause if things don't come easy
You want them all
To go away
Cause if you aren't immediately smart
An expert in whatever you're doing
Then you're the village idiot
