Hellions - Quality of Life lyrics

So if i've got your contempt, then know you've got mine Covet a home of trinkets, living supine So tell me what is real and all that constitutes that A collared man breathes on your neck, they're on your back Intact, f** that, I pity you. Validation, valediction What's the difference now? Eschew the standard Turn the paradigm upside down You could be happy, if you wanted to be. Don't feel obliged to live a life you never wanted to The best way out is straight through Let intuition guide you You could be happy, if you wanted to be. But you know that you don't. Don't you pay no heed to those who take no liberties The way of the sheep is not for me (behind your walls, you cannot see) I'm glad you met the standard So pleased you met your quota It's myopic Hand in your pocket Mind on your wallet f** that i pity you. Live for you. Validation, valediction What's the difference now? Eschew the standard Turn the paradigm upside down You could be happy, if you wanted to be. Don't feel obliged to live a life you never wanted to The best way out is straight through Let intuition guide you You could be happy, if you wanted to be. (Back) So bring it back to me (True) So tell me honestly (When) My friend, don't lie to me Did you ever really love everything that you did And everywhere that you've been? Are you just scared to live? So don't accuse me of living a life i'll regret I'm not, you're a hypocrite - another marionette. So hold your hands high You abide by your strings in the sky Dancing to a preordained lie You're a marionette. Validation, valediction What's the difference now? Eschew the standard Turn the paradigm upside down You could be happy, if you wanted to be. Don't feel obliged to live a life you never wanted to The best way out is straight through Let intuition guide you You could be happy, if you wanted to be.
