Mediocrity Rules
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So you wanna hang out with me tonight?
Well
You're cool, but I'm right, so
I'll set the dial to "no fights."
And as we leave the club,
and the sun is coming up, you ask,
"Have I failed to entertain?"
I say no man, it's ok.
Cuz I already knew
that when I'm with you
Mediocrity rules, man.
Mediocrity rules.
Life is but a compromise
and I can see it in your eyes that
nothing scares you like a real idea.
But no man, it's ok,
you didn't waste my day
Cuz I already knew
that when I'm with you
Mediocrity rules, man.
Mediocrity rules.
Yabba dabba dabba doo, man.
Yabba dabba dabba doo.
Yabba dabba dabba doo, man.
Yabba dabba dabba dude.
