This Is Not My Life

This is not my life
Where is the remote
I wanna rewind
What was on my mind?

This is no joke
Was I on some dope?
Smoking shag or sniffing coke
Is there any hope
I just can’t cope

Wasted time in school
Ignoring all the rules
Thought I had the tool
Now winding up a fool

This can’t be my life
Who to blame
When I took life as a game
It’s as if I’m going insane
Just disgrace and shame

God, it was just a dream
It was just a dream
But it seems so real
Life seems so mean in that funny dream
Gotta wake up, wise up and flip the scene
