Typical

Again I let jealousy blind me today

My oldest friend and I blew her away

Just a few kind words and all I could say

Was I've known you of ten years it feels like a day

And oh I watched her cry, torn apart at the hands of a child

And again I used arrogance as something to depend

And condemned all religion to pitiless end

And a politician's resonance rang through my mind

Patriotic in one sense the other just blind

Oh so many died, torn apart at the hands of a child

And I'll keep on going I've got nothing to lose

I gave up morals when I took up you

And it's boring to hear of another young truth

And what a typically shit thing to do

I was so shallow to the one man that'd stuck around

Sunk so low that I nearly drowned

And I screamed of his heart when he wasn't around

Consoled him recklessly, I knew you were down

Oh I watched him cry, a broken heart at the hands of a child

And I'll keep on going I've got nothing to lose

I gave up morals when I took up you

And its boring to hear of another young truth

And what a typically shit thing to do

I have felt heartbreak too and I know what it feels like

I have felt heartbreak now you can leave me alone right

I have felt loneliness and I know what it feels like

But I kept on going I had nothing to lose

And I gave up morals when I took up booze

And it's boring to hear of another young truth

And what a typically shit thing to do
