Useless
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.
Life's full of disappointments
Wonder where the good times went
Craving for recognition
Rather than accomplishment
Nobody cares what your name is
And it's gonna stay that way
Everything's off the record
Face it there's nothing to say
Life's only temporary
And then you fuckin' die
It's a useless situation
Can't you see that i'm
Between patience and persuasion
Every single time
Mingling amongst the masses
That much would be enough
You used to be my rival
Quit when the going gets rough
I never witnessed the moment
When all you ever wanted was me
Understand now the penny's dropped
Pissed off bunny not happy
Don't wanna think about it
It makes me fuckin' mad
It's a useless situation
Can't you see that i'm
Between patience and persuasion
Every single time
It's a useless situation
Can't you see that i'm
Between patience and persuasion
Every single time
