lyrics

Keep it down, keep me out, kick it down and shut it out
Keep it down, keep me out, kick it down and shut it out

Keeping me out don't wanna intimidate (lalalala)
Said they feel me anyway
I'm highlighted like the statistic that I am I said (lalalala)
They always see me anyway
I don't know their names I said I don't watch that son
But they drool over my mistakes
I'd pay it no mind and continue not giving a (lalalala) but now they're getting in the way

(They're looking at you)
Sitting nodding like they're bobble heads
(They don't have a clue)
Actions governed by a few
(They're looking at you)
Acclimatising to the prejudice
(I've done nothing queer)
Insects looking left and right for acknowledgement from their peers

I wish they couldn't see me, and this phenomena is pushing me off of the wall
Heading to the garage getting the MOT done on a motor thats a lost cause

I ran a bath but the waters too hot like (lalalala)
And now I've gotta stir it up
Thinking you're still relevant, in my eyes you're just click bait (lalalala)
Acid in my eyes every day
And these dickheads watching me like eyes to the front son
Maybe you'd get better grades
Talking like they know me when I don't recognise them
I said you're all anonymous

(They're looking at you)
Sitting nodding like they're bobble heads
(They don't have a clue)
Actions governed by a few
(They're looking at you)
Acclimatising to the prejudice
(I've done nothing queer)
Insects looking left and right for acknowledgement from their peers

I wish they couldn't see me, and this phenomena is pushing me off of the wall
Heading to the garage getting the MOT done on a motor thats a lost cause

Now,
The starting motor, the alternator,
The catalytic converter I'm a top debater
An adjudicator, couch potato, secret collector, talk to you later
An adjudicator, couch potato, secret collector, talk to you later
An adjudicator, couch potato, secret collector, talk to you later
An adjudicator, couch potato, secret collector, talk to you later
