[Verse 1]
Questions without any answers
Too young to understand it
The world isn't for people like you
(And you and me are [?])
Standard, case of empty handed
So let the children have it
And send them off to black eye show-and-tell
Hands are sweating in your trousers
Staring at the ground
While they're looking at the holes in your shoes
(And I look straight through, I always look straight through)
Cancer, domestic disaster
You learnt to put your hands up
Because it was what you were taught to do
(Turn on the other one too, yеah, I'm gonna run from you)
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna be like evеryone else
Be anyone but myself
[Chorus]
Life is easy when you're beautiful
(Life's not fair but it's nearly over)
(Dying's cheaper than growing older)
If I can't be you then fuck you
Life is empty with your pocket full
(Life's not fair but it's nearly over)
(Dying's cheaper than growing older)
Well that's what they tell you - fuck you
[Verse 2]
Left you, waving in the rearview
Standing by the door to the sound of "He can't hurt you anymore"
(Yeah, that's kinda the last time, I saw that he [?])
Fast food, wrapped in black and white news
Eaten on the floor in a rented three bedroom for four
(Standing right at my front door, [?])
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna live like everyone else
Be anyone but myself
With smiling faces in a family portrait
By the trophies on my shelf
I wanna live like everyone else
Be anyone but myself
[Chorus]
Life is easy when you're beautiful
(Life's not fair but it's nearly over)
(Dying's cheaper than growing older)
If I can't be you then fuck you
Life is empty with your pocket full
(Life's not fair but it's nearly over)
(Dying's cheaper than growing older)
Well that's what they tell you - fuck you
[Bridge]
Life's not fair but it's nearly over
Dying's cheaper than growing older
Life's not fair but it's nearly over
Dying's cheaper than growing older
[Chorus]
Life is easy when you're beautiful
(Life's not fair but it's nearly over)
(Dying's cheaper than growing older)
If I can't be you then fuck you
Life is empty with your pocket full
(Life's not fair but it's nearly over)
(Dying's cheaper than growing older)
Well that's what they tell you - fuck you
[Outro]
Springs a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old town, dirty old town

John Floreani:
I grew up really, really poor in a well-off mining and farming town. I lived in hand-me-downs. I had a pretty intense home life, so I had to learn to fight really early. It was rough at school as well. It’s a song for the ugly people, and I consider myself one of those—someone that d...
