Your parents lied, they don't really love you The teachers lied, they don't really like you You're not full of potential Sorry to burst your bubble Your leaders lied, they're in it for the money The preacher tried to pet you like a bunny And as a direct result You ran from their cult Oh mom and dad, just listen up I'm not that dumb, I'm just not living to my potential Because perfection isn't any fun Oh mom, let go of dad He's lost interest in being a part of this routine Routines aren't for everyone And neither are sports or piano lessons or recitals or baby modeling You wasted all your money on living vicariously Your parents tried to get the most out of you They wrung you dry and washed their hands of you By your sweet 16th their disdain could not be contained Oh mom and dad, just listen up I'm not that dumb I'm just not applying myself Perfection's not for everyone Oh mom, just leave dad Out in the cold, he's a sapling left on the vine He never matured to his potential He never wanted to grow up Daddy's still a sapling Just barely ripening Prolonged adolescence Prolonged adolescence Prolonged adolescence It's an embarrassment I know I'm not that special, you didn't burst my bubble I know I'm not that special, you didn't burst my bubble Oh mom & dad, just listen up I know that I'm not living up to my potential But perfection's not possible Oh mom, just leave dad Out in the cold, he's a sapling left on the vine He never matured to his potential He never wanted to grow up Daddy's a sapling An embarrassment Wasted potential An embarrassment An embarrassment Wasted potential
