lyrics

I'm way ahead of the curve
I get it better than you
I'm above the rest of the world
I'm sleeping on floor two
I'm way ahead of the curve
So done with the ground work

Meatheads I'm ready to hate
They don't get personal space
There's nothing to explain to me

Finance bros CEO hacks
Priorities out of wack
Don't ascribe their aspirations to me

Girl bosses think they're the shit
Drone striking syrian kids
Not so complex arms industry

I'm way ahead of the curve
I get it better than you
I'm above the rest of the world
I'm sleeping on floor two
I'm way ahead of the curve
So done with the ground work

I couldn't hurt anyone
Don't want to see your new gun
But I'm conditioned to defend

So I will kill for the man
Fly back and do it again
So school is free to attend

I get what I shouldn't be
There's no one looking like me
worth anything, anything, anything please

I know there's plenty of not
I thought for years and I thought
But look how happy it's make me

I'm way ahead of the curve
I'm looking back where I came
I was right to come this far
But I'm lost and alone
The road ahead is obscured
Bending beyond the trees
I wasn't bad from birth
From here it's up to me
