Elders

When we younger 

There always seemed like some 

Some perfect mold 

That we're supposed to be 

But now we're growing up and 

I see it's just not that way 

Now I feel like someone's lied to me 



'Cause I've been true 

Made good for you 

And now I feel used 

I'm asking you 

How does it feel 

How does it feel 

How does it feel 

To be like you 



Tell me now elders 

What were your reasons for 

Making it seem 

Like you were so much more 

If you want to feel good 

Because of our accomplishments 

Why the fuck 

Don't you just do it yourself 



'Cause I've tried 

Man I've tried 

While you all lied 

So now just tell me 

How does it feel 

How does it feel 

How does it feel 

To be like you 



Look at all the families now 

Who don't talk and don't trust 

Because of the way 

That things have been done 

When will you finally learn 

To leave out the bullshit 

And just be straight with us
